    Wondering if Mastodon is really the right space for me. Even with 10,000 characters, my last post still felt cramped. I have so much to say, and trying to pour that into any fixed container is a challenge. Perhaps Substack suits my long-form tendencies better. Is lengthy content considered poor etiquette here? Genuinely curious what others think.

        @Rosalyn That's not a bad idea actually.

            @HarmonthSeeker I would love a 10000 character limit. The limit on my instance is 1500, and that usually does suit my purposes. If you write more long-form stuff, maybe a place like Substack might be a better fit, though I myself have no problem with longer posts. However, I know that many people can get kind of prickly about it. I remember when Twitter went from 140 characters to 280 and many, many tops were blown.
