Interesting. I always believed the SMS is 144 characters. Incredible we had a social where ideas where sent 4~8 lines at a time (depending on the font size)

The 144 characters limit. IIRC Twitter had the same limit because at the beginning you could post on your profile using SMS.

I remember when phones where an arm and a leg in price purely because of T9. Having a predictive dictionary in your pocket needed a lot of bread.

Technology divergence is inevitable after corporations saw that convergence into an “all in one device” made their work much simpler.

No surprise feature phones, MP3 players and dedicated-use devices are making a comeback. My wish is for full pocket computers to return.

The Fediverse principle is not to be the next big thing. Just wants to be a functional series of communities.

That’s it. Decentralization is not only important, but critical to avoid a lot of shortfalls now common in bigger corporate socials.
