@suuuoppp: To stop the speculation and DM’s I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items……

“The company has currently paused all production to improve its review processes, and CEO Terren Tong tells The Verge an outside investigator will be hired to examine the harassment allegations.”
cw: Twitter rant
Twitter is fucking stupid and has a limit on the number of characters you can use in any “tweet”.
My suspicion is that this is done intentionally so that users cannot properly explain themselves, which inevitably creates arguments, drama, and “engagement”. Mastodon also has this incredibly stupid limitation.
The result is that you end up with people just posting long rants as a series of Tweets (thread), rather than just one, thus bypassing the incredibly stupid limitation, while simultaneously making it super difficult to just read.
This website just gathers all of the tweets from this thread into one post that’s easier to read.
LMAO someone stop me if this is a bot repost, but Twitter has the character limit because when Twitter was first founded you could text a phone number to post a tweet
Text messages had a limit of 150 characters or so. That means all the tweets did too.
That’s all it is
…and what year was that? And what is the character limit now?
