Welcome to the Tech Mem Right Home for Thursday, February 9th, 2023.

I'm Brian McCullough today.

Feel free to tweet your manifestos now as Twitter Blue subscribers can tweet up to 4,000 characters. Is the

Fediverse failing or doing just fine? Thank you very much. Is the SEC about to

put the Kai Vosch on crypto staking? Forget eggs, the real inflation is in AAA video game titles, and if

In timelines, the longer tweets will be capped at 280 characters

and have an option to show more. Quoting the verge.

Currently, there are a few limitations to the feature besides the big one,

that it's behind a paywall.

If your tweet is over the standard 280 characters,

you can't save it as a draft or schedule it for later.

You can add hashtags or pictures and non-blue subscribers will still be able to interact with the posts as normal.

Blue subscribers will also be getting the ability to quote, retweet, and reply with 4,000 characters,

so I'm looking forward to people coming into my mentions with massive essays.

There are other signs that the feature was rolled out relatively quickly.
