Being against our ToS is against our ToS. Your report has been reported.

I get that you get that you're excited to be here to be here, but that isn't this isn't it. This isn't bluesky that isn't mastodon that isn't tumblr that isn't bluesky. We're rebuilding a kindred unsafe to be safe to be unsafe community of communities here. This kind of vibe isn't the post that we vibe with.

STOP DOING CHARACTER LIMITS!
Years of imposing artificially low character limits on social media yet NO REAL WORLD use found.

Want to write a short post? We had a tool for that, it was called "write less text than the maximum allowable length!"

We went from 100,000 character limits on forum posts in dial-up days to 500 character limits on Mastodon or 3000 on Misskey.

Look at some of the character-limited posts that character-limiters want us to take seriously:

  1. OTOOAIBOOAOMTGMKCIITMOM <--A giant acronym that's incomprehensible to anyone outside of the in group, just to save characters.

  2. An image containing a giant wall of text with no alt-text using 100 times as much data as the text on its own would use just to circumvent a character limit and exclude creatures who need accessibility.

3)Here's my very short post: a thread (1/2395872935)

These are REAL character-limited posts dreamed up by REAL social media users!

"Oh, I love short character limits: it means I don't have to spend time reading long posts. Instead I'll spent 20 times as long reading long posts split into threads and continually have to find my place!"
--Statements dreamed up by the willfully ignorant.

@Amelia and her headmate can't even agree on what character limit to use: is it 3,000 or 5,000? They have completely played us.

Stop doing "stop doing" memes!

Centuries of internet memes yet no real-world use found for making infographics demanding other creatures stop doing stuff!

Want to stop doing something? We had a tool for that: it was called doing something else!

Here are just some of the crucial, irreplacible things that outlandish internet memers have demanded you stop doing:
*Math
*Character limits
*Stop doing memes

These are REAL stop doing memes made by REAL meme-makers!

"Stop doing replies to fediverse posts." They have played us for absolutely easy marks.
