In The Iraq War, 40 countries stood side by side with the USA to ensure Saddam was removed.
We Europeans fought in Iraq, not because WE felt threatened, but because a Republican President in the US told us, HE felt threatened.
Today, we feel threatened by Russia. Not because of a flawed intelligence report on weapons of mass destruction, but because Putin is killing Ukrainians on the battlefield every day.
And at this critical moment, Republicans want to hold back the aid?
I have really come to love Mastodon. So much so, I have followed everyone I found interesting, and everyone who has followed me.
Now I am following 7,500 people, and while I really enjoy that, Mastodon now prevents me from following anyone else.
I do not understand, why Mastodon would have such a rule. To me it seems very counterproductive to the whole concept of connecting with people from all over the world.
@Gargron thank you Eugen. That makes a lot of sense. I remember how the follow function on Twitter was abused by pornographic accounts to get attention. That was quite annoying.
However, the current error message is not accurate then. Could a solution be to add a "Read more" link to the message?
Alternatively, I believe updating the error message to explain the exact rule would be helpful.
