The maximum post length can be changed on mastodon.

What that doesn't fix is that people on mastodon don't see threads. I
use friendica, which does show complete threads, but everytime I post
something that's mildly popular, I get 10x the same response from
mastodon people who haven't seen the other 9 responses because mastodon
doesn't show that.

Brutaldon, first I hear about that one. Something to check out!
