Automatically split and submit long toots
Splitting long toots at <= 500 characters (or other server / user-specified length), and submitting these, with numbering added, would be useful.
I've ginned up some crappy gawk that does the splits, though not submission:
Issues:
- Max sizes vary by server. 500 is a reasonable default.
- Unicode / multibyte characters.
- In replies, references to parent / other thread participants eats into character count.
- Widow/orphan protection would be useful.
- Mastodon isn't a long-form medium, even if some ~~people~~ space alien cats abuse it that way.
