Guwahati: If you notice a decrease in your Twitter follower count, do not worry. Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter is aiming to “purge a lot” of spam and fraudulent account.
Musk shared the specific news with everyone on Thursday via his Twitter account.
He tweeted, “Twitter is purging a lot of spam/scam accounts right now, so you may see your follower count drop.”
Musk wants to increase Twitter’s character limit from 280 to 1000.
A few days ago, a social media user tagged Musk and tweeted, ” Idea on explanding character limit to 1000.”
In response, Musk wrote, “It’s on the todo list.”
One of the main distinctions between Twitter and other social media platforms has been the character limit. According to a Mashable report, Musk has expressed interest in expanding the character limit several times since he took control of the platform. On November 27, a Twitter user suggested to Musk to increase the platform’s word limit from 280 to 420.
“Good idea” Musk wrote in response. Prior to that, another user had suggested “get rid of character limits.”
“Absolutely”, the multi-billionaire responded.
Now, the question is when Musk will actually change the character limit.
