"The number of characters is limited based on old SMS standard! Lulz!"

Yeah, good way to have meaningful conversations where you can bring convincing arguments! /S

The amount of internet spaces with generous character limits and shit discussions makes me think that's far from the biggest issue.

It becomes a pretty major issue when it's one of the main sources of information for people though...

That's a different thing, and I don't think bigger character limits would help with a culture of not reading past headlines, not verifying and sharing sources, lacking moderation, and so on. Bigger issues.
