Stegodon now supports up to 300 characters in a note (configurable by the server admin, of course!) It is weirdly addictive to blog via your terminal. I fully recommend it. I hope it can pick up some steam and people can hop on board! :)

Agreed—everyone should try #stegodon, either as a personal megaphone to the world during a terminal session, or to build a small community around themselves. It doesn’t even have to federate if you don’t want it to; people can still have fun on an SSH box.

Is it only me, or the TUI view is still limited to 150?
