If you see a decrease in your Twitter follower count, don’t worry. Twitter’s new CEO Elon Musk is aiming to “purge a lot” of spam/scam accounts.
Musk resorted to Twitter on Thursday to share the specific news with everyone. “Twitter is cleaning a lot of spam/scam accounts right now, so you may notice your following count decline,” he tweeted.
Musk also intends to increase Twitter’s character limit from 280 to 1000.
A social media user tagged Musk a few days ago and tweeted, “Idea on expanding character limit to 1000.”
Musk said, “It’s on the to-do list.”
One of the primary distinctions between Twitter and other social networking sites has been character restriction. According to Mashable, Musk has expressed interest in expanding the character limit on a number of occasions since taking over the site.
Earlier on November 27, a Twitter user recommended to Musk that the platform’s word limit be increased from 280 to 420.
In response, Musk commented, “Good idea.” However, another user recommended “removing character limitations.” To which he replied “Absolutely.”
It remains to be known when Musk will ultimately modify the character restriction.
