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.

I fear I’m losing this battle but I’ll repeat my pref: I want a scannable feed for discovery with no long form content. Long form should be in its own corner. Whether this is handled via the protocol or an app layer might not matter, but this is my very strong revealed preference (check my Twitter usage)

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

I would +1 here. Some times nuance is needed and if it's a reply people miss it and then you start arguing on a wrong basis of discussion because the counterparty only read the first post.

Just implemented an experimental way to display long casts. Cast: https://warpcast.com/d11d.eth/0xbcc47d533419896854d26f524054b8f3718eba27

Feels like this should be supported natively, but it opens up for the question of where to draw the line. I could definitely imagine other types of message types being requested in the near future for novel functionality.

I've been thinking a bit about this. Was going to draft a FIP but switched gears. One proposal I added to /frames is to support markdown as meta tag. Another idea in the next cast:

@anurajenp
the composability of the text goes away with longer texts though. The shorter length also forces people to think more before posting. I think there might be a middle ground between having essay length and really short length

What about other schema types. eg Casts, Articles, Events, Check-ins etc Is this a FIP thing or more like a bottoms up ERC thing? cc @depatchedmode @owl

Better threading at the client level would be a nice stopgap until this is resolved

As a social community builder i really need this. The long messages could be collapsed, those who need them can choose to open. and hope that Farcaster can make an update for Chinese, when I using Chinese, one word is counted as 4 characters, which makes me very anxious.

Big problem with short content is that it incentivizes engagement and discourages quality

I’m always glad to see how thoughtful you are about any changes or new features on FC, and how you open up a dialogue about these things with the community.

yeah this is an important topic not just for discussion quality, but for evolving beyond just text-driven social (as in https://hackmd.io/@farcasterxyz/Hyyt7NFb2)

We don’t use that on twitter. Maybe just connection and thread. If we have inframe paragraph post we don’t need larger posts, just use more the frames 🖼️ IMO
