Hi, I'm sorry you don't like the limitation :( this is for short thoughts you want to share, not really huge conversations, there are better places for that IMO.
The character limit is, in my opinion, the primary reason Twitter became so bad. It encourages absolute language (qualifiers take up characters!) It discourages any level of nuance.
I use Mastodon which has a 500 limit, and even that sometimes is not enough.
The opposite of short exists.

Also open source.
Why use any? Why force yourself to comply with the arbitrary limitations imposed by some third party somehwere. For what?

What do you mean with "became bad"? It started out with a 140 characters limit in 2006 and kept that for more than 10 years. So its the other way around: it became worse, when the character limit increased. Though I don't think its due to the character limit either way.

well, you may consider rewarding known quality users with an extended limit, say double. the others can pay ;)
That's how enshittification begins. Next thing you know and there are blue badges next to profiles.
