TLDFT

TLDFT stands for "Too Long; Didn't Finish". It is an internet slang term used to indicate that a piece of text, such as a forum post, article, or comment, was too lengthy to be read in its entirety. The abbreviation is typically employed when a reader finds the content overly verbose or is short on time.

The response "TLDFT" is a succinct way of expressing that the user did not have the patience or inclination to read the full text. It often implies a lack of engagement with the content due to its perceived excessive length. While sometimes used humorously, it can also be seen as dismissive or rude, depending on the context and the relationship between the commenter and the original poster.

Variations of TLDFT exist, such as TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) which is more common, or TLOD (Too Long; Didn't Open). These terms serve a similar purpose in signaling an inability or unwillingness to engage with lengthy content. The prevalence of TLDFT and its variants reflects the fast-paced nature of online communication and the tendency for users to prefer brief, digestible information.
