If they abolish the character limit, do they also rebrand the platform from twitter to blogger? /s

I think there are some interesting observations in how both twitter and tiktok set out with short maximum lengths, establishing a culture of short, easy to digest messages, before relaxing the limit a bit. I'm not sure how much you can relax the limit before you turn the platform into something else entirely. But on the other hand there is a pattern of users circumventing the limit anyways. It will be interesting to watch how it develops over the years.
