This probably isn't the thread to argue this in, because the original post is important. And I'm going to admit that I'm one of the people who regularly posts long threads.

However, a user experience of a stream of brief thoughts is a very different experience from one of long and well crafted essays. People choose one or the other, and people who choose typically prefer short.

allows posts originally made on a server like , which allows long posts, to be copied to , which typically doesn't. That means that it's possible to inject occasional long posts into Mastodon feeds, and, provided they're important, that doesn't seem to me abusive.

If you did it too often with trivial posts, you'd probably get widely muted, or blocked, and that's OK too.
