In Brazilian digital culture, lengthy messages are often received with humor on messaging apps like WhatsApp, where users jokingly refer to them as 'mensagões' or 'paredes de texto' (walls of text). There's a cultural preference for brevity in digital communication, so lengthy messages may be perceived as overly formal or verbose, particularly among younger users.
