How configurable is #Mastodon? If I ran an instance, could I adjust post length? The number of images allowed per post?

@Bradley_JF It is specifically designed **not** to be configurable. Eugene seems to feel consistency among the servers is important so many things, like post length, are explicitly not configurable.
Instances like QOTO that have custom post length have had to edit the source code directly.
@freemo That doesn't make any sense, though, because Mastodon interacts with other Fediverse applications that have varied post lengths, some up to 50k characters. Consistency shouldn't matter so much as interoperability.
Well, thanks for the food for thought. This is a starting spot for me. I'm thinking about what application to run with that would be the most fun and flexible long-term.
@Bradley_JF I never said Eugene's logic makes sense :)
