When I first joined Kbin I posted threads due to being a reddit refugee but have started posting microblogs as time went on. I have also noticed some magazines have more threads while others have more microblog posts. For example kbinmeta has more threads while the most active magazine I moderate has mostly microblogs.
Now since I think about it -
I did a few tweets years ago before I deleted my account but I’ve never read it much. Just a message here there - I never followed full conversations. (And nowadays I rather not go here anymore)
So I’m pretty much out of the loop with how Twitter works as well 😂
it’s for writing small posts with hashtags
hashtags start with #
microblog posts can have attachments like threads can
if you click on a hashtag you can see more posts with the same one
