Re last: I mean, character limits should be settable by every admin from the admin panel! Come on, it's 2025 and it's nearing its end already! #MastoAdmin
@ag Have you seen the issue on the matter? It's completely absurd, idealists straight-up saying but everyone should be able to do this and putting in the admin panel makes onboarding easier and it shouldn't be or some such nonsense.
I completed a quick survey of 10,000+ Mastodon instances and found that 21% of them change their MAX_POST length in some way... that's more than 2100 instance admins messing with the default......

Why make it customizable at all then? This just feels like punishing the people who actually want to customize it. It's a constant reminder that this software wasn't built for us.
This rejection of a PR is the reason I'm running Mastodon in a persistent LXC container instead of using Docker. Ridiculous.
Пару лет назад читал как это сделать. Там вроде скрипты есть готовые, упрощающие жизнь. Конечно без возни не обойтись, но вряд ли сложнее чем поднимать кластер Kafka, или Hadoop например, а уж тем более админить это счастье.
@Yinshi Не, ну понятное дело, не Кафка, но могло бы быть сильно легче. Есть альтернативы, которые, как и должно быть в 2025 году, docker compose up -d и всё.
Я про альтернативные решения и не знал, правда меня вся эта тема с децентрализованными соцсетями и прочим в целом обошла стороной. Знаю что API тут вроде как чуть более богат чем доступен в TWBlue. А может и нет.
