@throgh @apertus turns #GNUSocial into #Wordpress or #Hubzilla and seems to remove its main point of difference (micro-blogging) -

@apertus @throgh but hey, let a thousands flowers bloom ;) -

@throgh @apertus sure, but it has the major downside of impenetrable walls of text, that break the #UX of apps intended for short messages -

@apertus @throgh that said, I think 140chars is too short, and that #Mastodon gets it about right with 500. -

@throgh fair point, but we do have plenty of blogging platforms whose #UX is designed for sharing long form prose. -

@throgh @therealpennyfortheguy the problem is users trying to have complex discussions entirely on the #birdsite (or in the #fediverse) ... -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh ... instead of writing a blog piece, allowing them work through their thoughts properly, and posting a link -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh I'd love to see #fediverse software integrated with blog software so the UI would do that for you ... -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh ... preserving the #UX of a stream of short messages but also allowing more nuanced discussions automatically -

@throgh @therealpennyfortheguy it's about differing use cases, not "look and feel". If I want to read long form, I web search for blogs -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh I come to a micro-blog stream for links, quotes, short comments, and casual chat. Long prose breaks that #UX -

Danyl Strype
@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh yes, I do need to use multiple posts, because Quitter.se has a 140 limit including @mentions and links -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh like I said, I think the #Mastodon limit of 500 chars is about right for micro-blogging -

@throgh @therealpennyfortheguy imagine I sent you a book I've written in the body of an email. Would you to read it in your email client? -

@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh or would you say something like "WTF dude! Just sent me a link to a .PDF on the web like a normal person" -

@throgh @therealpennyfortheguy we're not talking about an attachment, I'm sending you a book in the *main body* of the email. Do you read? -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2018 16:25:26 UTC
Danyl Strype
@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh of course you don't, because it's an unsuitable length of text for the delivery mechanism and interface -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2018 16:26:26 UTC
Danyl Strype
@therealpennyfortheguy @throgh I agree that the problem you're describing exists, but emailing people book length texts won't fix it either -

@throgh @therealpennyfortheguy I already offered a solution that doesn't break the short messages #UX

@throgh at this point, we have three options a) end our discussion b) write longer posts elsewhere and link them here or c) flame war! ;P -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2018 14:56:25 UTC

@throgh obviously I prefer options a) or b) :-) If I get around to writing a blog post on federated micro-blogging #UX I'll link you in -
