No thanks.
- stagas 2mo agoHi, I'm sorry you don't like the limitation :( this is for short thoughts you want to share, not really huge conversations, there are better places for that IMO.
- childintime 2mo agowell, you may consider rewarding known quality users with an extended limit, say double. the others can pay ;)
- stagas 2mo agohaha, yeah good idea. Also customize the theme as others wanted. So many opportunities here. :P
- Gooblebrai 2mo agoThat's how enshittification begins. Next thing you know and there are blue badges next to profiles.
- stagas 2mo agolol Yes enshittification is the thing I want to avoid, so hard decisions need to be made that will not make everybody happy. Still, this is open-source[0], so we can open a discussion (ideally alongside a PR) and evolve it. [0]: https://github.com/stagas/textlog https://github.com/stagas/textlog
- BeetleB 2mo agoThe character limit is, in my opinion, the primary reason Twitter became so bad. It encourages absolute language (qualifiers take up characters!) It discourages any level of nuance. I use Mastodon which has a 500 limit, and even that sometimes is not enough.
- rowbin 2mo agoWhat do you mean with "became bad"? It started out with a 140 characters limit in 2006 and kept that for more than 10 years. So its the other way around: it became worse, when the character limit increased. Though I don't think its due to the character limit either way.
- BeetleB 2mo agoIt was bad long before they increased the character limit. Saying shitty/toxic stuff can be done concisely. Giving a nuanced response is simply not possible. So people respond with jokes/sarcasm/counter toxic stuff. And the cycle continues.
- 8by3 2mo agoThe opposite of short exists. https://tuhat.net/about https://tuhat.net/about Also open source.
- davidcollantes 2mo agoDo you know where is their repository?
- jaffa2 2mo agoWhy use any? Why force yourself to comply with the arbitrary limitations imposed by some third party somehwere. For what?
- F7F7F7 2mo agoBecause otherwise you're having online discourse with yourself.
