I recently created a new friendica account to write longer posts - @roko
I kinda messed up by deleting a previous account I created, and I can't get the username rokosun anymore, lol. So I went with roko for now. I'm just testing things out now, I probably won't move to it completely until there is good client support for friendica.
I was mostly annoyed by the stupid 500 character limit of mastodon, but friendica also have some cool features like basic text formatting, following RSS feeds, etc
No limits here !
It's more about which Mastodon *instance* or config you're on.
Moving instance may help or Host yourself and changing server settings.
Nice to have some limits for training for a while but yeah understand :)
Q. What would you add with all that text space? :]
Yes, I understand that some instances allow longer posts. Friendica has some other cool features as well, that's what made me choose that. I first thought of using Friendica for writing longer posts, kinda like a blog or something. But if client support is improved then maybe I can use it as my main fediverse account.

Actually I realized that not having a character limit would allow me to communicate better and more clearly. I noticed this after I started using matrix which don't have any limit. Matrix also allows basic text formatting which I found to be quite useful, Friendica also allows you to format text this way :)Q. What would you add with all that text space? :]
Not all posts should be as long as a blog or something, but there are surely times when you do need to write long posts. This post is an example for that cause I wrote it in friendica, haha 😄
