Why is there microblogging when you could just use regular blogging software to write shorter posts?
Better marketing?
I don't know
It might have a bit to do with people being tired of mainstream social media sites trying to be everything and clone each other. Snapchat was a neat novelty to me initially but they tried to do too much and lost my interest. They may want to focus on doing one things exceptionally well
I’m on a Mastodon instance with a 2,000 character limit for a reason: microblogging is only good for shitposting.
