the minimum value is set 1, sadly. slightly irksome as people can’t just respond with images and often have to enter a full stop just to meet the 1 character requirement. obviously minor, but it would be nice to at least have the option to customize it to 0, or possibly having images being in a post negate the 1 character rule.
