People very rarely go past 400

I have often ended up needing to shorten my toots because of It. I would indeed much prefer a way to have longer toots.

I was going to mention that, too... Or, as has been mentioned elsewhere, one can self-host Mastodon and raise the cap. But... why?

Mastodon is specifically developed to facilitate short Twitter-like posts. Consider moving to a different service altogether if you keep having issues with it.
