Thorwegian ❄️ on Nostr: the Mastodon app pretends you can't change the character limit for posts. it doesn't ...
the Mastodon app pretends you can't change the character limit for posts. it doesn't even ask the server about it and just caps you to 500 characters. not the worst limitation, but you can smell the chauvinism. it's a bit like when Apple or Microsoft write software that enforce the idea that the world not only revolves around them, but that this is how it ought to be. other Mastodon clients are more flexible, but the official feels it doesn't have to be.
