okay, fine, i'm just going to say it.

i hate #mastodon.

because

#characterlimit = #dumb

no adequate means of discourse there. induces #inanity. creates and compounds ambiguities and misunderstandings. many instances try to remedy this, with top-down censorship ... very ugly.

it's nice having the space and time and ample headroom of enough characters/words to adequately explain your meaning.

like i posted after experiencing such nefarious "good intentions" suspension (immediately revoked when i appealed by simply asking for explanation of what was "disinformation" about what i'd posted, but there remained a warning for breaking their disinformation rule, and no explanation),

#censorship is a prison

We cant do #Science or #Democracy when #Censored
