It’s been almost a year since Twitter decided to offer its users 280 characters to complain about whatever is bothering them. The character limit going from 140 to 280 worried some that there might be even more abusive tweets to deal with. However, it appears that this added space has not only turned Twitter into a somewhat better/cordial place but hasn’t necessarily pushed people into writing short novels.

A report by Axios suggests that only about 1% of tweets actually hit the 280-character limit.
