its interesting how most of mastodon's memes are text-based while birdsite mostly uses image-based memes

i think it's basically just that by default one line text posts on birdsite get skipped over by people and you basically have to post an image to get a post attention

@boots I think having more characters makes it easier to make text jokes.

@boots Images are mostly used just for offloading text in order to circumvent the character limit?

@galaxis yes but also there's a few where it's basically purely image

@boots Ah damn, seems deletion of that toot didn't federate in time :)

Didn't see all the houses and dragons before posting that...

Does Twitter even allow for that kind of text formatting?

@boots more characters plus mastodon's multi-photo ordering is still confusing as hell

@boots Unicode hopefully preserves better than an avi uploaded to youtube, converted to h.264, converted to a gif, uploaded to twitter and converted to h.264 again. ^^

@boots Something becomes a meme quickly here (text-based probably helps here), if I leave for 5 minutes then I have to scrolls down the timeline significantly just to figure out what happened!

@boots it's because the average intelligence is higher here

@duck57 nah its probably just more characters im not smart
