Yup, that's another option! 👍️ There are Fediverse blogging platforms like Write Freely, WordPress and Ghost, and the Friendica platform is very blog-like too with no limits.

You can, but that only tells you the character limit, it doesn't say anything about reliability or safety.

The list I linked to is of servers with longer character limits that also comply with the seven points about reliability and safety at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site

EDIT: I've altered the original post to make this clearer 😅
