LOL. I just noticed today that #Vivaldi Social increased their character limit to, can you guess it?

#1337

1337 = “leet” or “elite” in #1337speak #LeetSpeak #EliteSpeak

I'm thinking of creating a plugin to display a character limit so our members won't feel left out of all the drama.

Like maybe just show some random number between 100,000 and 16M every time you reload the page.

Thoughts?

What is the actual maximum for (streams)? Maybe you could make one of those annoying little countdown things that decrements 1 for each keypress.
2097152 char remaining
2097151 char remaining
2097150 char remaining ...

Maybe starting with 100 more chars then a default Mastodon instance uses?
