I agree, but these mechanics are not a law of nature, and can be changed.

Whether Musk will actually do that: dunno. But I don't think it's inconceivable that Twitter could become something much better than it is today.

I think the tweet format is directly opposed to having thoughtful, or even civil, discourse. It's hard to express anything complicated in 280 character, and if you want to have a discussion you need that time to express yourself. Without the short tweet format, what is twitter?

Did you write your comment in less than 280 (278) characters on purpose?

Absolutely.
