About Threads Character Limits

Threads, Meta's text-based conversation platform, allows up to 500 characters per post. This gives you more room than Twitter/X while still encouraging concise, engaging content. The platform is designed for conversations and discussion, with a focus on community engagement. The 500-character limit strikes a balance between brevity and substance, allowing for more nuanced thoughts than Twitter while remaining more digestible than long-form content.
