Hmm. So one thing I've been annoyed with !gnusocial for the last week or something is that _group_ notices are shortened as well, when being passed through a bangtag.

The current method of shortening remote notices is to save the HTML to a separate file (accessed via AJAX on "expansion"), but the notice DB table will contain a shortened version based on the local instance's rules.
So a local instance with 140 characters hosting a group where many users allow longer posts will reissue the notice together with a URL to the HTML "attachment" - causing it to be remotely inaccessible because we currently don't publish CORS rules from the attachment API call.
(#CORS is the stupidest thing in the web world, but that's another story)

So. I would like to import _full_ notices instead of shortening them, but the mechanism right now would - afaict - not let me do this only for group posts without some hackery.

What I'd prefer is a short period in #nightly with full-length imports.
