@KitRedgrave People focus too hard on the end result, and ignore the journey there
I guess once I actually make it home from work, I'll look into putting the code changes for the markdown-parsed, unlimited length posts into its own repo for easy merging, and possibly submit a PR for it too if people want that

Friends
We made it
@bvtsang The mojibake at the end was making me worried, but I guess that's just the server you're on trying to add an ellipsis and using the wrong encoding?
Oh geez it's almost 7am
Time to rest x-x
What should happen: the full 2k character post with markdown should only show on THAT page, all other instances should show the link to it instead
I guess I'm going to use my timeline to test this now; please tell me how this actually shows up on your timelines. Oh, and enjoy some nice 'lorem ipsum'.

@andlabs @KitRedgrave *grabs a magic wand and waves it around menacingly with a ribbon*
I should boot up the desktop and get back to work...
Literally making it impossible to not split my clique of friends up, I swear
Hahaha I guess I'm never federating with awoo.space then, fuck that
Every time I leave work and check Tusky it's like a new explosion happens with regard to Mastodon and instance blacklisting/whitelisting
@KitRedgrave I guess the length of remote toots doesn't actually matter? huh
I've been considering having a toot that federates with just the first 300 characters or up to the first line break, with a link to the post on the instance to show the entire text (think twitlonger)
@KitRedgrave how does this even work with federation
Avatar has a little animation now... sylv~
@andlabs cute dog detected
(but not a qute dog, because that's me)
@KitRedgrave Let me just say that personal experience regarding choosing a server and what sort of specs are needed versus what helps it run good helps a lot
@KitRedgrave You're a good friend to me <3
So now while I'm worrying about that bill and not entirely sure they actually took care of whatever it was, they sent me *another* bill for the last time I was in there that's double the amount I was supposed to be repaying. This is despite me asking them just before I left to make sure everything was properly taken care of, and being told "everything is fine, you're good to go"...
I'm probably not going to be seeing this dentist much longer at this rate.
