256 doesn't actually make a lot of sense does it? I mean 255 would be 8 bits. Like 1111 1111 and if they can do 1 0000 0000 (256) why not 1 1111 1111 (511)?
Or maybe I'm missing something -
ChappIO46937y@dontPanic having 256 people in a group makes them indexable by a byte.
You don't need the number 256 to host 256 people, you need 0 to 255. -
b3b340657y@dontPanic you forgot that there can't be 0 people in a group. 1111 1111 would be from 0 to 255 but the "index" of the chat partners start at 1 I guess. Can't explain it. But 256 is a beautiful number

Who has 256 friends? I don't even have that many people in my life I want to even remember.

Yeah like the neighborhood watch group.
I mute all group chats every year because there is still no mute indefenetly option... -

I don't know how it is setup in your country. How it is setup in the Netherlands is like this. Https://www.wabp.nl
Here you can find the area you live and request to be added.
