Microblogs are an interesting thing. I was never able to get into Twitter or Mastodon because it feels so disorganized and chaotic to me. That said, I think microblog compatibility is low key one of Kbin’s best features with a lot of potential. The problem is that right now it seems like kbin doesn’t really know what to do with it.
This is where I wonder if a dedicated Kbin app like Artemis could really carry it further. Has there been any discussion on this yet? How would you imagine microblogs being better implemented with Artemis?
Yeah, I signed up to Mastodon recently and it made a lot more sense of how the boost function works in relation to microblogging. I can follow my Kbin profile on Mastodon if I want to. I don’t, but it’s interesting that I could.
But it’s great to see from the screenshot how you could microblog from Kbin in its own right. I’m still not sure I fully get it. But I like the idea for sure
