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
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.
