Mastodon is quite a bit bigger than Lemmy and if you make it easy to interact here some of the Mastodon users might decide to join Lemmy too. I'm kind of in the opposite situation, I'm on here and I don't have a Mastodon, but if I could see more of Mastodon from Lemmy I might decide I'm interested enough in that content to make a Mastodon account. But I never really got into Twitter, even if some form of a character limit would help improve my writing.
For me, this is the opposite situation. I like long texts that detail other aspects in a topic, the writer's intent, references, lists, etc. that make discussion matter more and hit its core aim rather than having a limited space where you can only vent your emotions in a few words or just simply talk about something in a limited, headline-esque urgency.
I think the character limit was increased a bit over the years but the short text culture persisted, even if some people try to use chain comments as a way of posting long discussion texts. The platform simply goads people into that style, which is antithetical to meaningful discussion.
That is, overall, my view of the character limit situation too, that the character limit forces nuance to be lost and contributed to some of the issues Twitter had pre-Elon (Elon's influence on Twitter culture has been far more harmful though). More what I meant is that I'm a novelist as a hobby and I'm sometimes too verbose in my writing. An artificial character limit might help me practice writing tight, punchy sentences.
I also tend to be a bit long winded. I enjoy using a diverse diction and try to maintain some grammatical consistency. Neither of those things are well expressed on short-text platforms. Like even this comment feels too long for Twitter or Mastodon.
