My Mastodon instance is small enough that every request I made to the mantainer was solved within a couple hours, usually by blacklisting accounts or entire servers. The “human” size of the instance (~500 users), in my opinion, can’t be ignored in this case

Some Mastodon instances, like the one I’m on at the moment, allow 5000 characters per toot. I feel that’s more than sufficient for any Twitter-ish “long” post

If I remember correctly, the first days of Reddit were filled with bots posting to fake some user activity so that humans would ditch other platforms.

The author mentioning “based” and “cringe” reminded me that meme culture ages poorly while endlessly recycling the same tropes/jokes. Eight years ago the dichotomy was “dank”-“normie”, and Impact was used with way less meta-irony.
