And at this point no one follows it. Everyone has expanded beyond it because things move on with time

Mastodon and threads have gone Way Beyond it

I don't understand why you're fighting for 300 characters so hard

I've never heard of somebody fighting for less

I'm not only a blue sky user; I like being on BlueSky. I shouldn't have to move off of a platform because they're holding an arbitrary small number for no reason.

Even threads and Mastodon have longer post limits. At least be in line with the industry standards

Exactly. It just makes long-form posting more difficult for no reason. At least keep it in line with industry standards, like at least match Mastodon.

Exactly my point. It would make it a lot easier because I actually use Mastodon, BlueSky, and Threads, and I'm tired of when I want to cross-post, I have to just do condensed posts for BlueSky and then longer ones for everyone else to get the point across.

I shouldn't be forced to condense whatever I want into 300 characters when many other platforms don't

There's no legitimate reason to lock it into 300

And if that's what I want, how you going to tell me that I shouldn't want it

Can we please, please, please get an expansion of the character limit?

Like just give us 500 characters please.

300 is just not enough.

I know that they take a long time to add features, but I am glad they are slowly but surely adding stuff. Although I still need them to really pick up the pace with adding quality-of-life features.

OMG, this is totally awesome! #Bluesky has finally added #Drafts into the mix! 🦋 Now I can save my best #ideas for later (perfect for my fellow overthinkers! 🙋‍♂️). They also fixed #GIFs to autoplay silently & added fresh art by @odpomery.bsky.social . The app feels way snappier too! 🚀

This actually seems like a really cool app, giving you the ability to delete your own posts and likes.

Aaaand we are back! Tumblr should be working for everyone again 🙏

On it

That's what I'm saying. I use discord so rarely that there's no way I'm giving them my ID like that nor a face scan just for them to try to turn around in a few months and be like oh well we're working with the government to ......

Oooh what's this !?!?

The fix isn't uploading your license to every app. It’s OS-level trust.
​#Apple & #Google should verify age once on-device, then share a secure "Adult: Yes" token with apps. Zero data shared, zero leaks. We need #DataSecurity standards, not more surveillance.

#Discord is rolling out "teen-by-default" globally, blocking 18+ access without a face scan or ID.
Protecting kids is vital, but centralizing millions of government IDs with third-party vendors is a #Privacy nightmare. We've already seen 70k user IDs stolen in breaches.

It would be a lot easier just to verify through Apple or Google, as an example, that I'm an adult, and when I log in, it just registers that that's an adult user.

Still issues but at least a bit easier

With more platforms attempting age verification, while the cause is noble, there are many pitfalls.

Phone platforms may need to verify user accounts at login, notifying each platform that the user is an adult.

Because I'm not giving. My ID to everybody to get leaked over and over

Yeah, Tumblr seems to come and go but now that it's under new ownership I know they're trying to revitalize it as a new thing

I think if they wanted to they could probably make it a tik tok alternative maybe

I don't know if we really need another insta alternative

Maybe it can be both

Hot take:

The Rugrats sequel series All Grown Up was a pretty good show.

Secondly, I think I'm ready for another continuation series with the kids fully grown up and with kids of their own.

It's Monday, let's lock in and get after it

#Openvibe just leveled up again by officially adding #Tumblr support to the network! 🐙
It’s honestly the best #socialmedia app right now. Being able to juggle #Bluesky, #Mastodon, RSS, cross-posting to Threads, and now Tumblr in one place is absolutely dope. The #openweb is looking good!

Free hot or iced coffee at Dunkin w/ code GOODWILLDUNKIN (redeem in app on offers section)

This was a stupendously good deal! I picked one up and somehow it has free shipping too like whattt.

I’ve said for the longest time: send all the unused Next Gen heroes to the West Coast! #JonKent needs to lead a massive #Titans West or modern #LegionOfSuperHeroes. He led a #JusticeLeague when Clark was gone! Think #Bunker, #Sideways, #TheSignal, & #JaceFox. A true #JLU vibe.

It's probably just me, but I miss the early 2000s era of being able to listen to the radio on your cell phone while sitting on the bus and playing PSP or Game Boy after a day of high school.

High school sucked for a lot of reasons

But I kind of missed that simplicity

I miss the vibes of that era.

Damn, that's rough. Sorry to hear it, but hey, that place was a hellsite anyway.

I only go there anymore to check on like three people and then dip out.

Somebody at that Kid Rock concert looks EXACTLY like this.

I promise you.

Also works great for when you're going to a protest 🪧
