Hear me out, I know you put Mastodon, Threads, and Tumblr on this list and described them separately but they are all federated using a protocol called ActivityPub. There's plenty of other server softwares out there that also implement this protocol (Such as Pleroma, Misskey, Soapbox, Peertube, WriteFreely, Pixelfed, Honk, etc). Each has different settings and defaults. Mastodon actually is somewhat notorious for having such opinionated defaults, like 500 characters in a single post, which is not present on other server softwares it can federate with. Same with rich text and other features it is lacking. You mentioned you couldn't find anything but serious discussion on there, which makes me think you may have tried it out on a bad server.
