Trying to find out which politicians, political advisors, journalists and commentators with big followings got 280. Anyone noticed any?

twitter is a "good monument" in the same way all those civil war statues are. monuments of this sort need to be kept way the hell away from statehouses.

is it just... "we have verified that this person exists"
regarding this
We’re reconsidering our verification policies. Not as high a priority as enforcement, but it’s up there— jack (@jack) October 14, 2017
what were the verification policies before? i guess it's to verify that the account is the real person and not a faker, but why are there so many non-public figures with them
― qualx, Saturday, 14 October 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link
It is “this person is who they claim to be”. So initially for celebs, it quickly expanded to journalists with high self-regard, conference speakers, Nazis, etc

280 is really, really bad. Scanning my TL my eyes ignore the 280s automatically. For twitter they are literally tl;dr

Same.
I'd be willing to invest $5 in a code that filters out any tweet with more than 140 characters.
Hell, make it 150.

Otm. To show good will I can get behind PP's suggestion of 150, but the 280s seem to lead mostly to hot takes served more slowly. They're dragging (me down).
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 15:13 (six years ago) link
you can't train people to communicate in 140 characters or fewer and then suddenly double it - a cursory glance at the madness being unleashed now across twitter dot com will tell you that
mr twitter, put back up those walls
