His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.
I don’t use Mastadon cause I don’t care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.
There are different Mastodon instances with different post character limits. You could also use an ActivityPub based macroblog (like write.as / WriteFreely(?)).
Nice to know! I think lemmy has been meeting my needs pretty well, as there are no limits that I’m aware of here. What would be compelling for something like write.as and writefreely?
Right, Lemmy is very different from Mastodon, even though both use ActivityPub and can thus communicate with each other. Unfortunately, I don’t know that much about those platforms two platforms, other than that they do exist. You can find a ton of active open-source ActivityPub projects to explore on this list: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub
