@hansw @Sphinx The British have some of the prettiest spoken English all around. (Some of their regional variations are not that friendly, and outright hard to understand in some cases).

I love their ways, not only the spoken word, but the creative and unexpected turns of phrase -- so refreshing compared to the less creative US speech and writing.

@joaopinheiro@mastodon.social I completely understand.

I have a hard time anytime I need to post something meaningful in one of those limited instances.

But you could still consider a nice Glitch-Social instance for an account -- mine at Muensterland.social has a 5,000 character maximum, which is plenty. I am quite happy there, it's a small instance and you are welcome to come and sign up.

muensterland.social/about for details.

@rgx is now my Publisher's account and is working quite well for me.

Another good Glitch-Social, a small instance too, is kafuka.me/about -- the admin, Tom, had a chat with me and was convinced to raise the local limit to 1,500 characters.

His instance is well maintained and he will be delighted to get good users who add posts to the local Feed.

* Kudos to a fellow instance - Recommended *

Really nice server setup -- responsive, kick ass experience. Self Hosted so there's less costs to keep it going.

Server specs :

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8- (16) @ 3.900GHz
HDD: 2TB in RAID configuration
RAM: 64 GB

Great software, Glitch-Social goodness plus Koyu's personal touches all over the place.

@realcaseyrollins

Boss sees the clear advantage, and has a test instance for getting used to it and considering a migration.

Our hosting costs are high and getting worse -- this might help a lot.

More responsive and less hardware requirements == lower hosting costs indeed.

He needs to see if the database can be imported in Pleroma, and then offer a temp test instance for the userbase to try. With the MastodonFE front end it should be an easy transition to anyone.

Plus he wants all his extras, the ones added to this instance already; that complicates things somewhat.

But there's movement in that direction, the ship is turning. Happy to report that! 🚢

@zleap I think you are going to like a Blog post I am just collecting my previous posts for.

I have battled against that 500 chars limit for months now, victories are far apart, not frequent. Best is to consider it carefully when selecting an instance.

Otherwise, Ingo's place is cool, and he's a great admin and veteran Fidonet operator too.

Mega post on why 500 characters is too limiting -- coming in the next couple of days.

Wonderful -- this will be useful for people in places where Tor might be needed -- Documenting it into a new Topic soon. Thank you Sphinx! 👍

My thoughts on why the cramped 500 characters maximum Toot is a relic which Mastodon developers should consider revising. Or making easier to change, for the few instances that allow their users more modern space and limits.

------

Geez...

I have encountered the hard core Twitter user mentality in some admins I have made this request to.

They were users there for years, are used to the short burst posting, which I as a Forum user find baffling, unattractive and a general pain in the butt, to be perfectly honest.

There was a time, in the older days, when twitter started and ran over SMS. The 140 character limit came from that, as people had voice and SMS access, not mobile data.

The cramped space, terseness resulting from it, I could understand in that situation. But we have left that long behind.

I usually don't feel attracted to responding to the very short one liners. To call that "micro blogging" is a weird distortion of what I consider blogging to be.

I do write long posts in mastodon, and much longer form in Blog posts; have a hell of a time to post an announcement in Twitter for those in their measly 240 chars.

@Sphinx

>> don't worry. i already found an other way :)

Did you manage to login with a Tor browser? Or just a plain login, regular browser?

I would like to add a topic for this to our Pinafore Forum, just to have a reference there that Tor is not supported (and I have never used it, although VPNs I do use more often.

Thanks, Sphinx.

A sweet TL;DR short and sweet intro on Ingo's instance. NerdCulture.de is a Mastodon instance located in Germany.

nerdculture.de/about/more

500 characters maximum toot is painful and unusual punishment for me though. 😜

@globcoco @freemo LOL....

@nolan

I think this could be helpful -- the requested file seems to be "statuses" as shown.

Copying @freemo as this might be a local config issue.

Thank you! I have updated the Forum thread for this issue.

Thanks, Nolan.

So the Dev Tools are in the Developer site of Pinafore, I imagine? dev.pinafore.social/

I see -- you meant the Dev Tools in the Browser itself.

And --- guess what, with the Dev branch of Pinafore loaded, the Test post went thru. 😃

qoto.org/@design_RG/1043375291

Unlisted but no error. I will work on this some more, thank you for the prompt reply!

Additional Testing :

With the normal branch version of Pinafore, the error appears. I got two screenshots; no error with the Dev branch client. I will be using that one from now on.

@hansw

Ah, I see. Discourse can be installed in a system if it has the Docker already in place.

Seems to be a finicky install, according to Freemo, and needs to be the only package running in that Docker for it to work.
