STOP DOING THREADS

POSTS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SPLIT INTO 25 PARTS
YEARS of POSTING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for a low character limit
Wanted a low character limit anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “SMS”

LOOK at what Mastodon Users have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the Fediverse and protocols WE built for them:
(This is REAL Posting, done by REAL Mastodon Users)

Why communism will win, a 🧵 (1/255)
Why I should be allowed to index all your posts for profit, a thread (1/X)
The rise and fall of Twitter (283/185,781)

“Hello, I would like a 500 character limit please”
They have played us for absolute fools
