What about Tumblr? Commonly when people ask to lose the 140-character limit I try and understand what people are trying to accomplish and how that is any different from what Tumblr has now.<p>After spending some time on tumblr, I&#x27;ve noticed the 140-character limit is <i>great</i> from a reader point of view. What it ensures (like you are alluding to) is that one user doesn&#x27;t dominate my feed&#x2F;attention with one really long post. I don&#x27;t need curation on Twitter, because the time it takes to read 100 twitter posts is constant. It&#x27;s harder to get trapped in an platform-imposed filter bubble on Twitter this way too because there&#x27;s less pressure on the platform to algorithmically rearrange your newsfeed as well.
