Dear Twitter, could you please do away with the "insane for 2015" 140-character limit? (Anyone who mentions "legacy clients" can forever hold their peace)

- hayksaakian 12y agoMaybe someone already mentioned this to you, but 140 characters is pretty much the only unique thing that makes twitter recognizably twitter
- currywurst 12y agoI wonder if that's just a UX issue though. There are already many services which post the first 100-odd characters before continuing onto a link with the full text. Would it be so difficult for Twitter to come up with a native card for longer tweets ?
- supercoder 12y agoIt's a feature, not a bug.
- currywurst 12y agoSure! Let's all tweetstorm and (gasp), post screenshots of tweetstorms .. :) ! Now, I didn't mean that character limits be removed completely, but a 250-character limit seems to be a good trade-off.
