@manton Perhaps characters/excerpts aren’t the issue but rather what formats encourage the culture you want. The micro is nice because it encourages interaction, while the blog encourages more thoughtful engagement.

I think I’m looking for the bridge, something that can summarise the post so people can choose how to engage: a title is too short and introductory sentences don’t summarise. But for everyone that would use something like that there will probably be ten than don’t and can see the problem that creates.

I know you’ll have thought about this a lot longer and harder than me.
