I don't favor the idea of autocollapsing mastodon toots.

Average word length in English is 5.1 characters, plus one space or punctuation is 6.1.

500/6.1=82 words, the maximum length of a mastodon post.

What we need in Mastodon is longer posts, not shorter ones.

Online comments to the New York Times are 1500 characters, can we at least please have that?

It is very difficult to say anything substantive or interesting or well-documented in 82 words.

#GetOnOurLawn Demonstrate to new people the culture of caring that we have. Seeing folks being cared for and caring for each other, seeing people express vulnerability and being shown understanding and compassion, seeing people ask for help and receive it… these things had a significant impact on me when I joined and really set the tone for my interacting with others here.

Dudes claiming to be the intellectual and technical elite claim that social problems such as content moderation are hard.

Problems that so many old institutions have solved. That so many organizations have put forward strategies for.

I am so tired of having to train autonomous cars to recognize street signs in order to do the most basic things on the internet.

I think the Fediverse should spend some words in support of Sarah Jeong, whose article on Motherboard about Mastodon helped the community grow. The harassment campaign that is targeting her is unacceptable and we need to consider how our platforms and our behaviours can enable harassers and malicious people.

Queer eye except it's five representatives of the humanities telling Silicon Valley tech giants about how society works, and which of their ideas have already been invented.

Hannah Gadsby's comedy show "Nanette" is at times not funny at all, but the powerful message is really important, and her performance absolutely brilliant.

@intherain You have to go on one the domain user’s profile, then in the hamburger menu, it is the last choice "Hide everything from xxx”.

(I had to ask about it too when I needed it, because it is indeed not easy to find.)

Thanks to the special needs vehicles and the superb cycling infrastructure network in the Netherlands they use the tricycles for transport, fitness, therapy and recreation just like anyone else.
