Depends on context I think. For me, on something like Lemmy, a “wall of text” is any comment that I cannot fully read without a need to scroll my phone. If the comment is longer than that, 9 out of 10 times I scroll past without reading it. Ain’t nobody got time for that. There’s also an aspect of a general lack of social awareness that makes me want to discredit whatever is being written.
“walls of text” are anything that’s hard to read because it’s very long, tedious, without a clear format or structure, and mostly boring because it repeats itself in 5 variations without any clear reason.
I always thought walls of text were comments or posts without any paragraphs. Just one block of text.
