Reply to comment by snowyshards in Elon Musk says extending Twitter's character limit from 280 to 1,000 characters is on his to-do list by morenewsat11

It’s a platform meant for concise, brief communications. If you want to write a paragraph +, go on Facebook, Reddit, or Medium.

That was the original intention until it become the most influentical social media app where all politics take place.

Ultimatums are not going to cut it, I have seen many times people getting cancelled because they worded out badly something important they wanted to say while trying to keep it under 280 characters.

Twitter was being used for things it was never meant for and that become irs main audience, something about the character limit had to be made

And this is no me defending Elon, Twitter's previous staff before his takeover was already considering something like this.

All the limit does is make people post pictures with a paragraph of text that you have to click on to be able to enlarge and read or post your paragraph on https://www.twitlonger.com/ and post a link to it.
