This has been a longer conversation. The agreement to display things like this was made in this previous issue: https://github.com/ticktackim/ticktack-workplan/issues/74#issuecomment-365826751

@mixmix so what is the exact criteria of the blog type? Is the one users using Ticktack to publish message content larger than 2500 characters?

ticktackim commented 6 years ago

@mixmix oh, I understand the blog type is only fit for Ticktack. Users who write a blog in Ticktack will show as blog type no matter what is the size of message, correct?

Message type is a low level scuttlebutt thing. Like is another type, subscribe is another type. By default ticktack uses :

We use post type because the other clients already use this so it's compatible to send messages and anyone in any client to read them.

In Patchwork, post type is used for all threads. This has a limitation though in that the writing has to be less than 8kB. But, there are a lot of long posts that people put forward to share their ideas. If we include post type bigger than 2.5kB (or 2500 ascoli characters) then we can get more content which could be interesting to readers shown in Ticktack. The size limit is just my best guess about how to avoid small post messages which are not really articles / writing. Like people posting a single question, or a photograph. If we include post type I want to make sure we don't just accidentally make something which includes heaps of junk!

@mixmix Yes, I think adding post type message larger than 2.5kb (is it a 5min read time standard?) to Ticktack is a good try. We could tune the filter feature based on enough good content then.

All places now take into account long post type messages (2500 characters):

I don't know if this is a good measure of a 5 minute read. But I think when I open the posts that are this length, there is usually enough writing that a person is sharing something a little more deep, which feels like a good fit
