 Good idea!

Though, 280 may be better? 
 I think 280 characters was a mistake.

Twitter with 140 felt better.

 I'll settle for 220. 
 Is this a negotiation? 
 160 
 210 obviously. 
 140 for life 
 Scarcity is value 
 but not only... right?

I mean my toenail clippings are pretty scarce and arguably have little value... 
 Artificial scarcity is a manipulative monopoly attempt that invites competition 
 👏 scarcity is mind control

 What was the fixation with specifically 140 and multiples thereof?

Seems very arbitrary.

Must have been torture for Germans and their long words! :D 
 Sanskrit too 
 You should make that a license plate.

 So if we add the relay then will we never have to see a post that is over 140 characters? 
 140  on Twitter was like ppl were just barking out summaries and condensed thought fragments for maximum effect, which was often 
“ I am so offended, need to engage more” .
140 was in my opinion a Buiz Model around engagement farming. 

Didn't appeal to me, but was successful. 

But if you areeasily distracted and talk in memes only, 140 is enough. Hö.

There aren't proper threads here, maybe on other clients ? 

I would give 280 a try. 
Enough for form follows function.
