What do people put in these profile boxes anyways?

I have so far avoided the pink haired anime girl appreciation post, and also I no longer think I need to go "what happens if I post color of the sky" because the stress test on excessively long posts is already happening.
Anyways collapsing those kinds of absurdly long posts is part of why I like Mastodon CWs, at least for instances like mine where the character limit is high enough to write small essays. >.>
So individual posts auto collapse under read mores on here but the issue with the anime girls is that each contribution to the threadwould collapse automatically if that contribution was long enough but the threads of additions as a whole were not programmed to collapse of their total accumulated length exceeds a certain length.
Which I'm sure will be fixed eventually
Yeah, I figured this case was probably something like that. The specific test I was thinking of w/ color of the sky was it seemed like some fairly lengthy posts wouldn't get read more'd if someone shared & added not-read-more-worthy commentary to the post? But I wasn't sure, and now I imagine any fix to "this post has so many shares & takes up so much screen real estate" will also cover any scenario like that as well.
That's what Tumblr does. It's based on the ultimate post length not each addition over there
