I have so many questions. Like, was there supposed to be a link to an article? This picture alone doesn’t really answer any questions.

It's a Mastodon toot, they only have like 180 characters or something

Yeah, it'd be a shame if they had to sacrifice some of those mentions and hashtags to relay meaningful information.

If you wanna be twitter you behave like twitter.

Oh, that makes sense.

Many instances allow much longer messages, but it depends on the admin and how they see it. Could even be thousands of characters in some cases.

Anyway, mastodon integration is nice, but there are some serious issues too.
