One of the things people have said they would like on Cohost is a way to do that old Twitter joke where you type up to the word limit so the tweet ends in a cut-off word. People have brought up a few ways to do this on Cohost, the easiest one being posting just a headline, which has a 140 character limit, but I haven't seen anyone suggest what I think is a much more interesting option, which is to use CSS to produce a negative margin so the frame of the post itself cuts off the text. This has several advantages, the main one being that it looks like the website itself is cutting you off. The main disadvantage is that screen readers aren't affected and won't communicate the visual joke very well. If you're using a screen reader, this part of the post has long since gone out of the frame, so sighted people can't see it. It can be just a little secret between me and you.
back when they doubled the length limit i remember this post absolutely had me on the floor and then a month later every single person who complained about it had quietly agreed to pretend that never happened. the only thing we were ever wrong to get angry at. the posts became so much funnier at 280
back in the day I thought it would be a lot of fun to 1)compile a long list of everyone who swore they would never do a tweet over 140 characters and 2)create a bot that responds to people who made that promise the first time they ever break it. the problem, of course, was that I was simply too lazy to learn the skills to do either of these tasks
