It seems that there are more articles with longer titles nowadays and having to truncate them sometimes leads to the title being mangled and "lost in translation." Should we expand it to say 100 characters? Every limit is arbitrary by nature of course. But it seems reasonable to me to expand it to at least 100 characters. Maybe there are UI/UX issues for the 80 character limitation that I am not aware of. Can't ever imagine it is a technical limitation.
In addition, I always feel reluctant to edit the titles down to 80 characters and often feel if I am "censorious". I don't want to be in the position of interpreting the true intent of the title when constricting it.
