140  on Twitter was like ppl were just barking out summaries and condensed thought fragments for maximum effect, which was often 
“ I am so offended, need to engage more” .
140 was in my opinion a Buiz Model around engagement farming. 

Didn't appeal to me, but was successful. 

But if you areeasily distracted and talk in memes only, 140 is enough. Hö.

There aren't proper threads here, maybe on other clients ? 

I would give 280 a try. 
Enough for form follows function.
