@feditips Controversial opinion, but I've grown to prefer the austere 500-character limit. Collapsing my ideas down into tiny, bitesize chunks (each shareable on their own) helps me to clarify my own thinking, and also stops me ranting into the wilderness before I've taken the time to consider sparser, more disciplined and impactful sentences.
Because some folks hate epic threads, I always aim for a maximum of four installments. So far, my longest has been five.
