<p>Yesterday, Twitter announced that it would be testing out a new feature &#8212; changing its character limit from 140 to 280. AND PEOPLE FLIPPED OUT. No one likes change, and as much as everyone <a type="internal">makes fun of Twitter</a>, we want it to stay the same. LISTEN TO US, @JACK! Here are some of the best reactions to Twitter&#8217;s proposed character limit change!</p> 1.
