Option B + some C + the remaining char. counter from A. B: Concur with the build for humans replies. Hot take is also the "half as many messages" argument may be a bit fallacious. Not every cast will max out, people maxing out will just thread and post multiple casts, so you're down to people abbr 2 fit w/i char lmts.

Some C. I think Twitter counts a URL as 17 chars regardless of the URI length. This might be mitigated dev-side as URL unfurls, and image/video/audio as other data fields? Like all features, logic should depend on the value to the people using it V the cost to implement, but SOME customization is probably unavoidable.
