@switchingsocial @jond @highfellow yes, but... https://mastodon.social/media/Km7pZJUcxWTOtVm5GNs

@trwnh @switchingsocial @jond true, but you can see it when you hover the mouse!

@highfellow @switchingsocial @jond theoretically yes

I wonder if there's a max length? 🤔

@InspectorCaracal @highfellow @switchingsocial @jond max length is a tricky beast. Thr web standards do not define it, so it is left to implementors.
Some browsers take up to around 4000 characters, some even more, but for wide-spread support, you should stay within two-toots-worth (around 1000 characters).
Now, how would mastodon deal with them? Dunno, it might be worth a look into which url parsing library they use and find out.

@sydneyfalk @switchingsocial @jond DONT YOU DARE, it is 42

@switchingsocial @sydneyfalk @jond so many magic numbers...

@thoughtcrime @switchingsocial @jond

mine's Discordian, so by definition it is magic *and* not magic

and also not real

(yes, you heard it here first, 23 is NOT a real number)

@sydneyfalk @switchingsocial @jond it's actualy a Schrondinger's number

@alex @switchingsocial @nuron not recognized as link tough, so your cheat did not work…

@r000t @switchingsocial @jond 23 is the length of Twitter-shortened urls.

@JordiGH @switchingsocial @jond
Ah

Now I'm trying to figure out the technical reason behind copying Twitter on that

@r000t @switchingsocial @jond No real technical reason, I imagine. Some default number had to be chosen and there was already a "standard" so might as well follow it.

@ck
In fact, it's false. Mastalab doesn't limit chars. So even if it counts all chars for a link, the real value will be used. Also, you have an option to automatically split your toots.

@mastalab
Not my experience, but I'll check again.
Thanks for clarifying :)
