Like the Bluesky platform which only allows 60 words in a post. Completely anti-intellectual. At least Elon Musk allows posts on X to be as long as desired in order to develop an argument. I applaud anyone who is able to conduct a reasoned, calm discussion without indulging in whataboutism.

60 words keeps it concise, clear - or muddled, depending on who's doing the posting. Rambling on forever about something isn't intellectual. Crafting a post or response takes time, thought, care - things X isn't concerned about. It's a conversational amount of wordage, not a screed, those 60 words.

Its limit is 300 characters which would only be 60 four-letter words. I, an intellectual, could never be so constrained.
