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've asked readers if they like long tweets from a UX standpoint and most people prefer to read a longer post in a browser / link vs. in feed.

A solution that would probably satisfy nearly everyone: Top-level posts are length-limited, replies are not. Replies is where the length limit does the most damage: Debates become increasingly lossy, people talk past each other more, and resorting to the only thing that is short: dunking on each other.

I love this suggestion!!! I don’t like blog posts as casts/tweets. Send me to a blog, or even just use something like @paragraph’s frame if you want to read inline. But for replies, I agree, it gets really chaotic fast and long replies would work well. My thoughts: https://warpcast.com/thumbsup.eth/0x9e59dd0f

I agree, I usually end up breaking replies into 2-3 which messes up threading (and half the time the person I'm interacting with misses one of them). Half the time I'll just start DM'ing instead, but then the public conversation is cut off.

Yeah it’s a really unpleasant way to respond. Ultimately it’s not the end of the world if the first cast is long but I hope people barely use that. It’s not a good UX for a feed-based social imo. Even Mirror’s discovery feed still has you click into the full article.
