* <<J3ZXQZF3>> Post size limitations
Created: 6/16/2017, 7:14:27 AM


Post size limitations – especially when we're talking about
limitations in hundreds of characters – are completely stupid.
Email servers rejecting messages larger than a certain number of
megabytes — that's a reasonable limitation stemming from a concern
over system resource abuse. Moreover, the sender at least receives a
notification that their message has been rejected, which gives a
reason for the delivery failure. Limiting the length of a note to a
few hundred characters, on the other hand, is some pointlessly
arbitrary shit.

In OStatus, because we're dealing with a one-to-many distribution
scheme, delivery failure notices for the sender doesn't make a ton of
sense.
