Let the admins easily setup the character limits
<!-- Please use a concise and distinct title for the issue --> <!-- Consider: Could it be implemented as a 3rd party app using the REST API instead? --> ### Pitch <!-- Describe your idea for a feature. Make sure it has not already been suggested/implemented/turned down before --> I found useful to keep the 500 characters limit but many instances are already changed this limits, so why can't we let the admins to easily decide how their istances manage the characters limit. ### Motivation I love the mastodon microblogs format, the 500 characters limits should be set by default, but the character limits had sense back in 2006, everybody were already typing with a 140 characters limits with mobile phones. Now in 2019 almost everybody are using whatsapp/telegram/signal without limits. So this limits has little sense now, another point is I would like to have an instance that give 3 times bigger messages (1000) than actual twitter (who as now increased to 280 but had a little impact on platform) so to attract more people that were put off from twitter because of this limit. <!-- Why do you think this feature is needed? Who would benefit from it? --> many instances and many new users should find it more attractive to have a social not so limited on short messages. nothing will change, just a few users will better articolate some toots, other users will keep writing short toots bigger toots will be visible on the first 500 characters so to not change the timeline. some instances
