I don’t think people can actually read the whole thing before responding
So you’ll get these replies that very clearly only parsed the first 1/3 to 1/2
It’s (part of) why doing numbers here ALWAYS SUCKS

@danilo oh, this is extremely true. 500 characters is not a strict enough constraint to prompt the kind of clever brevity twitter had. And somehow it's also too long for people to actually read to the end.

(I have a regex that suppresses such replies, I do not need non consensual essay assignments)

I'm all for long form writing, but not in the replies to my shitposts.
Or my earnest posts, for that matter.
Respect the venue.
