That is about 1 in 1000 people on earth

Even #Trotskyists are more than #Mastodon users

@mastodon

Most of the admins' replies on the limit was "it is too hard to configure for non-default, and it reverts back to default after each upgrade", which to me if it was true, sounds like a packaging issue or inablility to oonfigure the build (with rust I wouldn't be surprised). Maybe they are running mastodon on windows, who knows, so to engage in /etc/ configuration is pointless.

I am not a server owner because I can't afford it. I am simply a user.

Serious content usually is found on text format for people to read, fluff is kept at a/v format.
Talks were written and read, so they were in text form. easier to translate and transcribe than a/v crap!

#Mastodon wannabe twitter contributes to the conditioning / brainwashing of reading/writing aversion corporate media promote.

The formation of left wing ghettos isolating those voices from society on the net is one benefit the capitalist domination of MM sees through
#mastodon #fediverse

Another benefit is that the manipulation on speech, reading, and writing social habits developed by corporate social media are inherited here. Brief writing and a/v fluff preferred over well written documents. If you have the funds to mass produce a/v content or reproduce it, you are IN.

I am under the impression that the mastodon sw comes with a .conf file where limit is preset to 500 but can be altered.

It has nothing to do with overloading the server as the smallest image is equal to 1000s of lines of text, not characters.

Some say it is don so messages display easy on a arm/android type of device, small vertical screen, but I assume it is little inconvenience to just rub the screen down some more to read.

Corps. are conditioning people to avoid reading

Somehow you make it sound like a post you make belongs to you (as in property) and you should be able to control who can respond to it.

Let's act as adults and realize that once you make a public statement you no longer "own" this statement, it is there in public domain, people can agree/disagree, adopt, or reject it, or even modify it and restate the original. It is what we want, isn't it?
