Could anyone share their thoughts about the attractiveness of a platform that says how many characters long your posts can be?
What I see on Twitter is that people are constantly fighting this limitation by writing several tweets in a row (sometimes marking them as parts of a whole message). I would think that’s an annoyance. So what’s the attraction?
- sincerely 8y agoI would say the majority of tweets on my timeline (>95%) are single-post messages. Knowing that everything on twitter will be relatively short means I can check it when i only have 2-3 minutes to kill for example.
- ohtwenty 8y agoIt's not mentioned but it depends on the instance how long the character limit is (as in, it's configurable). default is 500, but there's some with a limit of 5000, or 666 (some witchy instance iirc)
- makomk 8y agoProbably witches.town, which was intentionally destroyed by its owner and no longer exists.
