mastodon.ar.al is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
This is my personal fediverse server.

Can we please have a setting in the administrator panel to set the character limit for a Mastodon instance?

The current lack of such a setting does nothing apart from create a two-tier fediverse where folks who have the time to maintain their own Mastodon fork and folks who use other ActivityPub servers can write as much as they like whereas everyone else is limited to 500 characters. We’re not kids; make the option accessible and let instance owners decide for themselves.

@aral me personally I hate the 500 character limits to be honest

@crazycool411@mastodon.social Any specific reason why you're using Mastodon then? Other fediverse platforms offer higher character limits.

@daniel @crazycool411 Just have been for the past seven years or whatnot and don’t have time to host some alternative myself or deal with migration, etc. Maybe after I’m done building the Small Web :)

@aral @daniel I come to check on you and you're Small Web:)
I do have some ideas
But
They're about having to make app and I do have to say some pretty intriguing apps/web ideas
So
I don't know if any of my ideas will help you
But
I just thought I'd put it out there
And
Feel free about asking about the projects that I have no money for
But
That hasn't stop me from putting the word out about'em
