fuuuck typo in a post i made two days ago that will take two characters to fix and i'm one character below the limit. and it's something i want to keep around and archive once that thread is finished so i'd like to not keep typos in it

genuinely considering just upping the instance character limit for long enough to fix it. i can do that, i have the power. hell, i could just not rebuild the frontend, which is the only part that would be slow. then i couldn't fix the typo from the frontend, because the post form wouldn't know the limit was increased and would disable the button. i'm sure if i poked around in the js enough i'd be able to get around that, ooooor i could just use tusky, which would see the increased character limit even without the frontend being rebuilt...

@monorail What's the problem with just increasing the instant character limit by a few characters permanently? I don't think that'd change much for anyone, but it'd let you fix the post

@monorail Oh, that's why it's exactly 4710 characters! I was unaware, because I didn't remember Glaceon's Pokédex number (471), only Vaporeon's (134)...

@vaporeon_ @monorail i’ve never learned the veevee national dex numbers (fur shame tbh), just their relative ordering in it
