Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The max character limit will be raised back up... it just needs to be manually done after each update and the admin just forgot to do it in this case.
We did disable the invite function, because it was being abused by AI spam bots. Until there's a better way of addressing that threat from Mastodon devs, people will have to go through the normal screening process when setting up an account.

TY, @subMedia@kolektiva.social . Totally understandable. What does the normal screening process involve? I was hoping to get #PineTreeActivism over here. @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social @admin@kolektiva.social

@subMedia@kolektiva.social Thanks so much for jumping on the character count. I agree that disabling invites is a good idea. The tragedy is, the Masto project could address that by closing the manual review loophole for invites. Hope they do that! @DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social @admin@kolektiva.social
