I am definitely not sure in what did you expected from Fediverse. A layout of micro-blog of Qvitter, Classic or Pleroma is not changed, even if you throw 64000 chars and unlimited pictures into it.
It still be micro-blog, twitter-like service with uncustomizable fonts(hell i specifically appreciate Lynx for ability to enlarge symbols for my eyes without breaking everything else), illustrations only at the end (or at the beginning)(which mean only way to contextualize them is numbering them (like pic 1,2 and etc)). with no proper header, with NO Table of contents as a concept( for proper linking to specific point)
And did i mention that the only UI of Fediverse that provides a proper UI for long discussions that links to each others posts is Pleroma (linking to posts(pic 1 and 2), and AndStatus with tree-style (which in my opinion much less unwieldy than Pleroma one, and much less convinient in day-to-day use than twitter(which GNU Social essentially is analog of) and maybe Hubzilla?
But even those lacks of ability to link several posts in one of your own. Yes you say meme arrows(>) can substitute quotes in GNUS. But they are not providing faithful context on it's own.(pic 3 for traditional and pic 4 for chans style, and pic 5 for tree style, most unwieldy of them, but still better than Qvitter layout,but worse than Pleroma(inb4 reddit)
>There is no point in having an infinite character limit, when your posts drown in #bread, #cofe and surrogate contractions like ‘oker’ and ‘tdim’ that people repeat like robots.
Again. A nature of microbloging, but now with 64000 chars. It strange to expect forum-like discussions in a STREAM of content. And it will be strange to expect not to be drown in #breadposting)
>short, easily digestible, minced into timeline.
That thing. Whats wrong with it? Not 24/7 spending mental resources to meaningful posts?
>Call it a blog site or news site.
Good for you. Why not from very beginning? It fix a layout. But it does not fix a problem of "drowning in a sea of nothing" unless you are a popular person or write blog for your freinds. Nothing wrong with that, considering of vastness of written human things, and mental efforts to filter it out.
>When the federation just started, there were less people, but more meaningful posts and desire to talk to each other. In the April of 2016
I suspect, that you missed quitter. And also old saying that "/b/ was never good" is still in power. There a good discussions there, and there are always be one-bites. A nature of human interactions
>platform for friends
Witch majority of friendships began with as you would call it
>#bread, #cofe and surrogate contractions like ‘oker’ and ‘tdim’
Easy, lighthearted conversations, unless you inspired to make LONG ASS essay(again, unwieldy for chosen format of GNUS and Pleroma)
Morale: Wrong platform for thoughtful discussions you choose from beginning, and you naively expected a platform audience be compliant to your standard from different style of platform. And even ebil Gargon is not to blame here. Kudos for you planing a proper blog, finally
PS. Why did you mad at hakui again? Considering GS SMUG is a branch of /g/ and /tech/ of modern day, with own paranoia concerns(unfortunately, 2/3 of time based on real facts). And OPSEC concerns is a part of it
