I believe it's just Eugen not willing to remove the useless limits. People very rarely go past 400 anyway, but when you really have something to say, you have to start these stupid threads like you'd do in Twitter. I wish Mastodon would just start trunkating posts at a certain character/line limit, behind a "show more" button.
