Is there a reason post titles don't have a shorter limit?
There is one post on the main page with a title that takes up 4 full lines on mobile, which makes it less of a title and more of a paragraph.
Limiting titles to 100 characters would be roughly 2 lines max on mobile, and would clean up the UX.
No reason other than I haven't ever added title length. I was thinking a limit somewhere in 80-140 chars is good.
Could even do something fun like, every character after 80 is 1 more sat, or exponentially more sats, or whatever.

True, adding exponential cost for posters could be an interesting solution. We'd probably want to be super clear with users about how the fees are structured though... the simpler the system, the better.
Also, I think Google begins truncating titles after 55-70 characters, so that's a reference point for SEO considerations.

that would be hilarious if each post cost 1 sat per x amount of characters. less shit talking i would imagine and more concise comments. heh

💡 An idea for a future sub!

I really like that idea. Put your money where your mouth is... literally :)
Why not for all comments?
