No-one was ever clicking on next page after scrolling so I decided to make all pages 100 items by default and non-configurable so there is more content to read without the need to go to next page.
Good call. I noticed that page size setting over the weekend. Feels more fiddly than it's worth, tbh. Agree that it's better to pick a sizable default and let people not have to think about it.

?page=2. Everybody just opens a feed, scrolls to the bottom, doesn’t find anything interesting and leaves. Now I’ve made it such that you have more to read and something might catch your attention to engage. It’s better this way. The alternative would be introducing client side JS to enable doom scroll.@fastidiousprofilefollow"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." — Sid Meyersreplied to@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist

creator of textlog:I see. Setting page length to 100 will not do much, I think. People will simply stop scrolling at certain point, before ever hitting the pagination. Doom scrolling makes it easier, sadly.
