IMO it makes for better content. I'm not logging in to a microblogging app so I can read thoughtful, longform content, actually it's exactly the opposite.

By enforcing a character limit you only allow a certain type of post to be made

Re:Modeless Vim on Monday January 15, 2024 @10:11PM (#39008975)
I started using this because my favorite editor (micro) has very poor syntax highlighting for ruby. It's a very specific use case but it's quite nice and I'm considering switching to modeless vim

He's been very vocal about disliking the average bluesky user. IIRC he's said they aren't accepting enough, there's more details somewehere on his nostr account.

Re:Bluesky Exploits on Thursday September 14, 2023 @11:17PM (#37517884)
He deleted his bluesky account sometime today
