Do you like the UX of long tweets in the X / Twitter mobile app? If yes, why? If no, why not?

No. Constraint is source of innovation. Hard constraints on # of chars: * incentivizes to go to the essential. * incentivizes iterative story developments, live. * allows readers to highlight the pieces they ❤️, the ones they 🔄, and others. * allows wild drifts creating semantic trees easier to follow.

Long posts used to be called blogs. Trying to look beyond a conservative leaning here, but a feed supposed to be an information hub seems to get confusing and less useful when salient one-liners are lost between two diluted stories.

What about a perhaps unique feature: Write as long as you want, then it is auto-magically split into N-char posts? Good split semantic is an interesting problem in itself :)

How could tech-oriented people ever agree to have "long casts"? This sounds like an oxymoron. Cast as in broadcast, multicast, UDP. No jumbo frame on these ones (intentionally mixing OSI layers here, just to avoid sounding too serious).
