140
- bpicolo 11y ago138 rather, because of stripped space. Edit: Actually fewer because consecutive newlines are reduced to two. so like...2/3 * 140 roughly
- cballard 11y agoI wasn't sure if that was client-side or server-side, and, if client-side, if the filtering is done at submit-time or display-time. I have seen someone tweet something with many sequential newlines, so I figured that it was probably client-dependent (I use Tweetbot).
- bpicolo 11y agoAh, not sure. You could certainly cheat in some ways with e.g. zero width characters probably
- egypturnash 11y agoI just tested by typing ".[cr][cr]" into the new tweet box, then cutting and pasting until I was over the limit. 93 new lines. Which is, indeed, int(140*(2/3)).
- Mithaldu 11y agoHe's talking about the amount of them you may send to the server, not how many the server actually stores.
