Twitter broadens character limitation from 280 to 4,000 (and without delay breaks)

Loquacious individuals, rejoice! Twitter simply broadened its quick 280 character limitation to an extra-large 4,000 … however there’s a catch.

In order to utilize wall-o-text-length tweets, you need to belong to Twitter Blue’s regular monthly membership service, which costs genuine cash dollars. Speak about a buzzkill, yeah? You likewise have actually to be found in the United States, as other nations do not have access to this function. You can browse the information in the tweet listed below.

The concept is to remove Twitter threads, which are longer ponderings that get separated into much shorter tweets. Personally, I choose much shorter tweets since that’s what drew me to this social networks platform in the very first location. I didn’t need to sort through paragraphs upon paragraphs to get the details I desired. Basic and to the point. That’s what Twitter utilized to be. Nowadays, like the majority of folks, I’ve no concept what the hell is happening with it.

Twitter has actually been a significant garbage fire for rather a long time now. Whether they’re dripping information from 200 million users or knocking third-party customers with the restriction hammer, the social networks platform is the virtual wild, wild west. Last night, quickly after presenting the brand-new character count and questionable API modifications, Twitter struggled with extensive technical problems that avoided folks from tweeting or following brand-new individuals for numerous hours.

Although the problem has actually considering that been solved, Twitter appears to get increasingly more unsteady by the minute. Will it ultimately implode? Who understands. Either method, Elon Musk’s Twitter is very tough to trust right now.
