npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 (npub1cmg…rzd2) Years ago I embraced the character limit because the things I posted were kinda pointless, simple thoughts. Quite quickly I learned that it is annoyingly limiting if you want to share anything deeper, complex, or want to have discussions with others - or arguments, as it usually is with social media.
I think this is the reason why so many people ended up making long threads in Twitter. It becomes even harder if you want to include hashtags and links. With scientific posts, you also have reserve space for sharing the original sources, tag the scientists and so on.
I understand why some people appreciate the character limit - limitations are often extremely useful. In the context of social media, I personally find them too limiting. I also enjoy reading other people's posts when there are details and small stories.
One of the reasons I was drawn to your instance was the huge character limit. Makes sharing my messy and verbose brain dumps and shower thoughts so much easier.
This post is a good example, sorry 😅
