How the fuck do bsky users live with a 300 character limit
I fill up 300 characters just talking normally let alone ranting

@julia I have a conspiracy theory that it’s made on purpose to force users to make more posts which would boost statistics
I have 0 proof or reason to believe that but idc

@julia You see, sometimes you just gotta get used to the pain of having to split your posts. Let’s say like… at times you feel like you might let a simple though such as ‘oh yeah im GAY’ but suddenly hyperfixate on the topic, then go on thinking on all the reasoning as of why you are gay and keep (1/n)

@julia they start talking like mastodon users

@julia okay it’s not quite fair, bluesky does a good job collapsing their threads and there’s also no CW

@MarkAssPandi @julia I think it makes sense to me

@MarkAssPandi @julia also 500 char on Mastodon was crippling lol, 300 is poverty

@yassie_j @julia @MarkAssPandi in Unicode civilization, nobody wants to use their characters on meaningless filler. I used to be in Unicode Poverty. I lived in one of the worst neighborhoods: Twitter. I remember it like it was yesterday, with only 140 characters per post. it was awful. since then, they’ve renovated the place and now all the Twitter residents get 280 characters; twice as much as when I was down there. But this is still abysmally low. One level up is Bluesky. it’s barely an improvement over Twitter’s 280. They could’ve built Bluesky in a Rich Unicode Neighborhood, but they didn’t. I don’t know why, but they built it right next to Twitter, tip-toeing right in the Unicode Poverty Line, at exactly 300 characters. when I was living in Unicode Twitter , I was given a fastpass out of that hellhole. I ascended straight to the heavens of Sharkey. here, in this comfy Upper Middle Class Unicode Neighborhood, I have a character limit of 8192. that’s why you’re hearing me ramble on and on and on. I am the most powerful shitposter in all of Unicode civilization. far from the Unicode Poverty Line, those bluesky users can only dream of having what I’m having.

@julia i have a character limit of like 20000 but i type like a mastosoc user anyway because I have the attention span of a toddler and hit send before finishing my thought and then repeat that like 4 times with followup replies to myself

@lea @julia this

@lea @julia tbh, because I think faster than I type, and then after sending remember that I forgot something

@MarkAssPandi @julia i think the obvious reason is that it’s literally just twitter and twitter has a 280 character limit

if anything they’re being generous for not setting it to the old limit (140 characters)

@sodiboo @julia @MarkAssPandi thank you for this beautiful post
