How much do you use Kbin for microblogging? (kbin.social)

One of the things I find cool about Kbin is the fact that it's a platform for both thread aggregation and microblogging. How much do you use the latter side of things? Do you make microblog posts, actively browse the microblog tab, view them in your home feed, or rarely touch them?

  1. microblog posts: rarely, but once in a while
  2. microblog replies: don't work atm, but i like it!
  3. microblog tab: depending on whether i have to micro-manage or not:
  • kbin's mod tools are buggy, e.g. an account banned from a magazine can still spam the microblogging section > mods better look inside the microblog tab ...
  • otherwise depending on my mood
  1. viewing microblog posts in my home feed: all the time - i like it even more on kbin than on specific microblogging fedi platforms tbh
  2. aggregated view is great! i keep boosting loads of microblog posts via kbin ✨

Yeah, aggregate view is the best, and I think it's currently one of the big advantages Kbin has over other fediverse platforms. Hopefully we see more improvements to microblogs once Ernest is done with the new ActivityPub module.

i hope so, too!

if mod tools worked better, the microblogging sections could become even more interesting in terms of content, and less of a hassle for moderators 🙏
