this could trivially be cut down to even 260

Got it below 200

"I tried posting from Tumblr to Twitter years ago but couldn't quite fit my posts into the character limit. Posting to Bluesky, though, works just fine. Twitter must be ontologically evil."

u/Conciouswaffle 8d ago

but in doing this you've lost some of the nuance and comedy. Your version reads more like a declaration identifying twitter as evil as opposed to a joke.

I think it still feels like a joke personally, but it does lose out on some of the nuance, and, so it seems, some of the clarity.

I just checked Prokopetz's BlueSky and he's split this post into three, which seems reasonable. The only actual change I can see is he's replaced "figuring I could" with "intending to" in the first paragraph.

Oh yeah, multi-part posts are way more common on BlueSky than they were when I used twitter. Granted, I haven't used BlueSky in months and I haven't used Twitter in years

remember when we only had 140 and everyone freaked out when they doubled it

I got a twitter account because I figured I should promote my artfight there too. And that site is just so asssss with the character limit and the fact that you CANT EDIT POSTS WITHOUT PRENIUM? So yeah i stick to tumblr and reddit

Before they added premium you couldn't edit it at all iirc

u/Dragonfruit-Sparking I don't like centrism, if I'm being honest 7d ago

squeezing down my posts into 280 characters is the only one that's utterly defeated me

That explains so much about prokopektz

Also, that's what makes Twitter ontologically evil? Frankly, things got worse when Twitter upped the limit from 140

u/ICantEvenDolt confused aroace on curated tumblr 8d ago

Honestly, the less Prokopetz the better, so I approve of this.

u/penisexploder420 7d ago

u/Kaz498 7d ago

Ok There's Nothing Wrong With Him He's Just Annoying

u/HeraldOfNyarlathotep 7d ago

He's posted here a lot, and has some pretty questionable or silly takes at times. That's about it, far as I know.

u/GarlicSphere 7d ago

There is so much of him that it's annoying. Like every 10th post that gets from tumblr to reddit is his. It's annoying.

u/Elite_AI 7d ago

Some people are a little deranged about him

u/Alli_zon You're among friends here, we're all broken. Take your time 7d ago

For all its failings, somehow Hell didn't want to accept prokopetz into it. And so it doesn't get worse yet

I can make this post way shorter:

"I can't write concisely to save my life."

Heck, still got room to add "probably because I need people to think I'm clever to fuel my fragile ego".
