Some folks post here in 5000+ character posts.

I am against that.

@GeePawHill I fool ‘em. I only read the first 350.

@GeePawHill I would call that a blog post, so a title + link would be sufficient here

@GeePawHill our clients should give us tools for that

@jay_peper @GeePawHill Ick. The long winded could leverage the CW / Subject header and hide the body but that's relying on them to act reasonable.

Same for certain people that often have 30-50 posts long threads. They could make 2+ all be quiet-public or something so they don't clutter the timelines. Again, relying on them.

Defensive move would be clients that know about those patterns and collapse that firehose for you.
