"Yo, what's up guys! So, Twitter just made a big change, they're allowing subscribers to their premium service, Twitter Blue, to post longer tweets, up to 4,000 characters! That's way more than the standard 280 characters for free accounts.
But, here's the thing, there's a catch. This announcement has been overshadowed by some technical glitches. People have been encountering a message saying they're over the daily limit for posting and some users can't tweet at all!
Twitter Support came out and said they're aware of the problem and working to get it fixed. This is just the latest bug that the social network has faced since Elon Musk took over late last year and laid off a substantial amount of staff. Critics have been questioning if the service will remain reliable with fewer engineers.
Twitter says they're aware that longer tweets could mean more scrolling, so they'll be capped at 280 characters on your timeline and you'll see a 'show more' prompt to click and read the whole tweet.
And, to add to the chaos, TweetDeck, which is a popular app for journalists and businesses, has gone down. There are rumours that TweetDeck will soon be a feature exclusive to Twitter Blue, but the company hasn't made a formal announcement yet.
So, let's see what's gonna happen next with Twitter and Elon Musk's takeover. It's an interesting time for the social media platform.
