Hey #tooters, is there a simple, easy-to-compile grammar checker that can run from the command line, sort of like aspell? :D #AskFedi — #microblogging #MicroToot: 133 characters

@RandamuMaki

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I don't think you're understanding the motivation behind the post, although I will admit it was rather ranty. I'll readily admit that that is a flaw of mine.

I'm already on a server that allows 5,000 character toots, and I love it. And I interact with people on all kinds of servers, including vanilla mastodon, vanilla mastodon with hand-coded longer post limits, hometown, glitch, GoToSocial, snac, and all the *omas and *keys.

My annoyance is that I feel that the limit is artifically hampering the ability for people to share online. A short limit is a valid artistic constraint for some types of expression, and I myself use the #MicroToot hashtag on some of my posts to indicate when I'm limiting myself to 140 characters (because I was a fairly early adopter of Twitter back in the day).

But I don't feel that it's a valid limit to put on all types of posts, and I still think it's unfortunate that the most prevalent type of server on the fediverse has those kinds of limits, because I don't feel that it's a good influence on the fediverse overall.

I'll leave it at that. Cheers.

The fact that "webcam" refers to both a type of website and a type of device makes it challenging to research the history of the former. — #microblogging #MicroToot:      136 characters
