Farcaster should implement a standard for combining threads into longcasts BECAUSE quality ideas expressed in text often take more than 280 characters. X allows long posts, and they are EXCELLENT. Why should I need a blog or a newsletter to communicate longer ideas in text. One network, unlimited expression.

Client opportunity! :) Revealed preference is most people are fine with a link to a Paragraph or Substack.

How is this revealed preference? I use long tweets all the time, and they get lots of engagement. Clicking off to a separate site cannot have as good engagement as native long posts.

But most people don’t write long form and most people who do prefer to use links.

Longtweets make sense because "why should i also need a substack when my followers are already here?" People's willingness to link to substack in october 2023 should not distract from Farcaster's potential as a short form blogging medium. Jack realized years ago link sharing's popularity is no reason to cede blogging.

Lots of quality text tokens take more than 320 chars to express. You want those tokens to be posted to farcaster first. If one arbitrarily limits to 320 in the interface, one cuts off lots of great explainers and question answers, and force them to go post to a separate network with separate identity + social graph
