Mark KraftI understand why it's nice - esp. on mobile phones - to have posts no longer than* X* length. Browsability matters! However, limiting the default characters significantly limits <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> adoption, as it is inappropriate for what they want to do... which could be everything from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journalism</a> to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fanfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fanfiction</a>.But devs solved this problem 25 years ago on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livejournal</a>, with the lj-cut tag.

Daniel Carkner🥀woke up to a funny memory from more than 20 years ago when I went on a solo trip to Czech Republic, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. at the time I was still a pretty regular <a href="https://historians.social/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> user and met some mutuals who lived in various countries over there on my trip. one funny character, an idiosyncratic illustrator whose name I can't remember now, met me in Prague on one night and we went walking around. at one point we stopped at that bridge with a view of Prague castle...(1/2)

David Scott MoyerI listen to a broad spectrum of music. Anyone interested in browsing videos spotlighting bits of that spectrum can go to my ancient livejournal.

Travis Mooney-EvansAnyone other than me trying to import from <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> in 2025? All tools seem borked, except <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dreamwidth</a> which is apparently in bitrot on install instructions (Ubuntu 16.04?) and also just lands you in another silo.

Dan Carkner🎻At a birthday in Bay Ridge last night, I met someone who was my <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/livejournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livejournal</a> friend a bit more than 20 years ago, but we never met in person.😯 We didn't really keep in touch after livejournal fizzled out in Canada, but she married a semi prominent klezmer guy so we've occasionally saluted each other through him, or during an online event etc. At first she was very confused, but then she made the connection and laughed and said "oh of course, you were my only non Russian friend on livejournal!"

Consider this: <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LiveJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LiveJournal</a> is basically owned by the Russian authoritarian government; <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Twitter</a> is basically owned by Nazis; <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Tumblr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tumblr</a> is owned by basically asholes… So who’s ruining who’s childhood, huh?
