   @m0xEE @Hyolobrika Doesn't seem like it'd be hard to add, really simple table in the DB. I don't know what it would be for, though.

     @m0xEE @p @Hyolobrika As long as the text is good there is no issue...

     Damn, I do need to enforce a character limit on this instance — I've made a reply on such a trivial topic a ~800 character post :marseyfacepalm:

     Yep, not hard to implement at all — that is why it's surprising there isn't any UI for it at all.
     What for? I don't know, but you can unmute accounts, right? Why not have it for threads. It's rather easy to mute it even by mistake — especially when using Bloat on a phone, just two millimeters lower and poof — it's gone, it's not in the replies, nowhere to find. And muting thread isn't what you do simply because you hate what it's about, sometimes you just get into mentions on the topic that you aren't interested in at the moment and you don't want it to litter the replies.
     I can always get to that table directly of course, but how would those without access to the DB do it? 🤔
     Well, okay, they can sent a direct HTTP request… But how would they figure out thread's ID?
     Again — it's not a big deal, and yet I was genuinely surprised there is no UI for it.

     True, but it makes the text less accessible — I might not be in the mood for something long myself, even though I might agree with it in the end.
     When there's no limit, I often go for more spacious expressions and repeat myself — this can be eliminated with brief editing, but doing this for posts on a federated microblogging network seems like going into too much trouble.
     I was attempting to write something fun for my gemlog and decided to describe a fun thing that had just happened to me — which was installing a program and finding out that it works differently compared to what I was expecting — turned out that it was in fact a different utility that had an identical name.
     I ended up writing a three hundred word piece (!) only to realize that I'm not even remotely close to the punchline in that story — which could be summarized in one sentence. So I decided to stop halfway.
     I do have to exercise some moderation in this regard 😅
