Some Mastodon nodes allow 500 chars, others up to gigantomanic lengths
per brain fart.  They may allow near to zero markup or other nodes
additionally HTML and Markdown.  They are federated with systems that
grok hashtags and with others that do not.

Such a level of feature inequality among federated nodes only deserves
one judgement: Fatal design flaw.

There are only a few major timelines and even hashtags don't cure that
and so there is no easy way for discussions to stay focused.

And filter mechanisms are very underdeveloped.

News readers had decades of evolution more than New Fedistan clients.
