          @volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip this is so true, i have no character limit and my posts are really long (attached post unrelated)

            @woe2you I don't think I've ever used a frontend that won't collapse longer posts automatically

              @volpeon Honestly, the argument that "character limits prevent posts from getting too long" always feels like ableism to me

              Let me infodump about a niche topic that I know too much about, for fuck sake

                @volpeon It just needs one of those "+"/"-" expandy buttons so I can collapse the really long posts and not have to scroll past it all. :T

                  @volpeon limits are silly, this is why bad ideas such as twitlonger came to existence
