@rmattila74 @jo Yeah, that's a problem. Most Mastodon users expect 500 characters. Then some guy comes over with 5,000 characters.
Too bad you don't know what you're in for because Mastodon doesn't tell you!
People came here because they were sold on a Twitter replacement. Little did they know that someone's very long blog post would also join the party.
But that could be fixed *if* Mastodon set the expectation that other apps use the same protocol.
