Hey, a month ago I would have simply pressde the button and not thought too much about it. Now the situation looks completely different. I have bookmarked all the discussions I came across, and next week I will read every single post to have a complete picture. I owe you that.
However, we need to think about additional privacy features, as priorities have drastically changed in recent weeks, and I will have to carefully consider that. Now that I have dealt with infrastructure issues, I will focus on the most important matters.
A short but very nice article, and some good discussion about meta that isn’t just “press the ban button”. It’s important to note that threads and Lemmy probably won’t have much to do with each other since it’s a Twitter clone.
One big thing is what I always say: decentralization is strength. Spread out over different instances and start your own instances or what happened on Twitter will just happen again.
I think kbin and Threads will probably have more interaction than Threads and Lemmy because of the native microblogging support in kbin. That puts them more or less on the same field.
I still don't think it will be very prevalent though. I've been using Kbin for quite a while now, and I have not once really used the Microblogging feature, just because it's tucked away in a separate tab, and it's not really what I use Kbin for
I quite enjoy how microblogging is integrated in kbin.social at the moment. It brings life to smaller communities, and connects us with the Fediverse at large.
For example, /m/gardening only has 12 threads at the moment, but since the microblog follows #gardening there are hundreds of posts in the microblog; several of which are from the last hour.
It's not perfect yet (if you open gardening@kbin.social from another kbin instance you won't see microblogs using the hashtag) and it's not for everyone, but to me at least it's a great bridge between kbin and the microblogging universe. :)
