This is a test post. It contains fewer than 500 characters. It should render as a Note, not an Article.

Cucumbers are an absolute waste to add to soup.

@julian i don't see why "500 characters" should matter for this tbh.

@trwnh@mastodon.social mm... that's a good question, and maybe it's worth rehashing this once again (have we approached ad nauseam yet?) over what constitutes a Note and what constitutes an Article...

@julian On Friendica, for example, at default settings, a post with a title is an Article-type object. Optionally, it's a Note-type object just like posts with no title and comments in general (because comments can't have titles anyway).

On (streams) and Forte, there is the option to send posts with multiple paragraphs as Article-type objects. I'm not sure how this works on comments, though.

I'm still waiting for either of the three and/or Hubzilla to introduce a per-post switch. By default, everything goes out as Note-type objects.

@infinite love ⴳ There are people on Mastodon who are deeply disturbed by posts that are over 500 characters long and who, at the same time, demand being coddled by the Fediverse in every way possible. Sending them as Article-type objects makes sense in this regard.

But if this is such a good idea in the case of comments over 500 characters that lack both a title and a summary...
