Instead of limiting twts by number of characters, do it by num of words, 42 for instance. optionally 69
@prologic@twtxt.net Well, I missed context. I’m talking about soft limits (based on Twitter obviously) recommended by the spec and that a few CLI follow
A status should consist of up to 140 characters, longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged. twtxt will warn the user if a newly composed status update exceeds this limit, and it will also shorten incoming status updates by default.
This random idea was inspired by Les Misérables (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_novels#Comparison_of_methods) and https://nicheless.blog
