@neil Over on qoto.org, the technical toot limit is over 65535 characters, but moderators have guidelines of <1000 characters because moderators on 500-character Mastodon instances have to receive them.

Not self-hosting all of my WordPress sites lets me observe the decisions made on a guy I managed CMS.
