How the thread maker splits a post
It keeps whole sentences together where it can, breaks long sentences at a word, and numbers each part (1/3, 2/3, 3/3) within the limit of the network you picked.

What is the character limit on X?
280 characters for most accounts. X counts every link as 23 characters whatever its length, and paid accounts can post longer.
What is the character limit on LinkedIn?
3,000 characters for a post. For anything longer, LinkedIn suggests writing an article instead.
What is the character limit on Bluesky?
300 characters, counted in graphemes, so an emoji or an accented letter counts as one. A post can also hold at most 3,000 bytes.
