Farcaster should have (near-)unlimited length messages like twitter.

Having used it for a while, I feel like twitter's long message feature improves its user experience and its usefulness for high quality discussion.

We're thinking a lot about this idea. 

The two paths are - storing data offchain using meta tags and embedding and expanding them in posts or building them natively as a message type. 

Both have important tradeoffs that need to be explored. If anyone is interested in this topic, we're open to draft FIPs.

when jack was leaving twitter he made a point to remark that resisting long tweets was one of his biggest mistakes; realized over time he had chose religion and principles and tech limitations over what we clearly the best user experience: to have the best content meet the user where they are in any format they prefer

The main challenge for FC is storage, not ideology.

Twitter could've moved off of 140 as soon as SMS wasn't their main use case.
