I noticed today that the 1024 character limit on Station isn't actually accurate. The entire request has to be under a certain size, which is going to be too small for 1024 characters if you're replying to something. Woopsies?

@martin already explained it some time ago, when I tried to post entire Shrek script. 1024b is max size of request, but you have to take schema into consideration. Unless I mixed something up, but if so, I'm sure that someone will correct me. · 2 years ago
People with longer usernames have less characters they can put in a Station log :) · 2 years ago
Gemini URLs have a 1024 bytes size limit. These posts that you send are encoded in UTF-8 and also percent-encoded, so the actual maximum number of characters is less than 1000. The URL on which the query string is submitted also counts into the limit. Fun fact: every space character in the post requires 3 bytes in the request. This "ä" is 6 bytes. · 2 years ago
