Cool, let me know when they remove character limits and figure out how to apply language filters to hashtags.
Isn't character limits an instance setting?
You can modify the code but there's no "setting" in vanilla Mastodon. The request has been denied by Mr. Rochko himself, despite protests from the greater community.
you can modify the limit settings in the /validators/status_length_validator.rb file and reboot mastodon :) i did that and now i have 1000 char limit
Yes, that is what I said.
