@FediTips Eh? Reply to your own reply? For real? I remember doing that once back when forums were a thing. Folks were laughing at me. 😅👍

@daniel @FediTips Neither does the Fediverse, but instance owners/administrators will set one in order to avoid tech issues and whatnot.

Just to add, there is no official way for owners to set the character limit on vanilla Mastodon, it's hardcoded to 500.

The only way Masto instances can change this is if the owners alter the code, or if they install a fork like Glitch or Hometown.
