Threads vs microblogs?
Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?
You're viewing a single thread.
Threads is from Meta and hence there you have the answer. Don't use it.
It’s not related to Meta (name aside)

As I understand it on kbin a:
-
thread is the equivalent to a Reddit “post”. E.g. it’s the main link/image/text entry that other people can comment on that’s added to a community.
-
A microblog is like a “tweet” but added to a particular magazine (aka community)
So, for example, the all homepage of kbin social is all threads.
But if you want to just generally throw out something to a community unrelated to any article/thread you do it as a microblog.
Oh lol my bad. Been hearing a lot about the Threads app by Meta and my mind just assumed OP was talking about that, haha.
It can definitely be confusing. And kbin’s naming convention is confusing too.
