# I added a filter to functions.php to truncate posts in the RSS feed of type 'status' that were longer than 280 characters, then insert a permalink at the end, so that they would play nicer with Micro.blog.
On the one hand it's good for it to be obvious they are longer posts without titles but, at the same time, it comes back to the issues of distribution and whether what we do on our own sites should be dictated by the means of distribution.
I'm torn between thinking "it's a tough call" and "what am I playing at?"

Looks like it works!
This change removes the one thing I wasn't happy with: having an external service dictate how I did things on the blog. I don't have to be torn between posting and distribution any longer.
