  I wish they implement hashtags lists

  Oh, so the good idea from Bluesky of Starter Packs is now fully in Mastodon. I know that repost-quotes are in too, which is fun.

    Or Circles in Google+.

      I wanted to like Google+, but the way they forced it into YouTube ticked me off.

      I’m actually astonished that Google has only ever dipped their toes in social media.

  Cool, let me know when they remove character limits and figure out how to apply language filters to hashtags.

    Character limits are a feature, not a bug. I liked the limit of 160 characters (with tags) on Twitter. It's because of SMS, but called for brevity and clarity.

      Except it’s meaningless because if people want to put more than that they just create a “thread” of posts that break my brain trying to reassemble. They do nothing but make the experience worse.

      It also creates turmoil because people aren’t actually able to explain themselves properly.

      Also why does it read everyone involved in the conversation automatically in every post? Why is that necessary?

      It’s just stupid on a fundamental level, sorry.

    Isn’t character limits an instance setting?

      It is, but maybe they mean they want no limit whatsoever on post length.

      which, well, if your instance starts sending out megabyte-sized text posts I don’t expect it to stay federated with many others for very long.

      You can modify the code but there’s no “setting” in vanilla Mastodon. The request has been denied by Mr. Rochko himself.

  i would love them to give us nuclear blocking that actually works across all instances (granted there are less jerks on fediverse but it doesn’t hurt to plan)

  Based as always.
