'longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged' ... usually when I see 'discouraged' in the context of rules, I view it as an invitation to do whatever I want. I appreciate that the guidance is there, and accept that clients can certainly do what they want, but short form restrictions irritate me, so I'm glad it's only 'discouraged'!
@tfurrows it actually make little sense today. the limit is usaful only as a way to prevent abuse of the system. there are no limitations per se.\n\nIn practice we found that the default 140 character limit in the original spec was actually far to restrictive and far too short so we made the default for pods much higher than this
