I’ve realised one of the reasons that I dislike the unlimited reply limit on Micro.blog: It’s exactly the same on my blog.
The comment sections of hosted blogs do not come with with settings for managing how they appear on your own site.

The comment sections of hosted blogs do not come with with settings for managing how they appear on your own site.
With a limit in place, since there are no settings for comment sections, then people can at least make a short post with a link to the full-length reply and that will appear in the comments section.
Right now, instead, if somebody replies with a full post-lengths worth of words, then they appear on your site with the only alternative option being that you remove comments entirely.
@SimonWoods I wasn't sure if I understood your concern first, but your reply clarified. Even I got tired of styling the replies below the post on my blog and removed comments altogether. Just kept the link to redirect them to the conversation on micro.blog.
@SimonWoods @amit There is internal discussion about this very topic. Also made a few changes to the new MB app to be able to handle that. We're still ironing out some details before we implement anything though.
@vincent nice. I wish the max length increases beyond 280 characters? It will nudge people to write longer 🙂
