If it's not already in the works, I could see a lot of utility from adding a "favorited" or "saved" threads/comment option for users to better organize and access the content they want to as opposed to having to sift through what could end up being thousands upon thousands of upvotes.
@PabloDiscobar I was a $5.99 subscriber to Reddit until this weekend. I find $5/mo a fair price to pay to keep it going. I also enjoyed awarding folks the fake gold - I know it is worthless really but I have fun dropping a love bomb on someone who was really funny or helpful.
@Magess bootsting also contributes to your reputation,where upvotes do not. Bizarrely, downvotes do affect reputation negatively, so people will tend to have negative fake internet points.
Since kbin is so new (kbin.social is about a month old from my understanding) it seems to me it'd be better to work on the main site, instead! Assuming the features you're looking for could be of interest to many users.
Source is on codebergand issues have been submitted with ideas, to questions. Might be a little slow now since there’s a flood of people, but you could search for an open ticket or help with something too.
It's essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There's really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you'd get close to that "Threads" and "Microblog" are.
I understand the concept, but not the purpose. Why would I post something to a microblog when I can post a thread? Or I guess if I was more twitter-savvy, why would I create a thread when I can post something to a microblog?
Closest would actually not be Twitter but the /comments after a subreddit. There used to be a tab for it, but they've hidden it. It's just basically all comments posted in a sub.
Granted microblog is just all comments in that microblog area but it's the closest thing to it.
When the twitter userbase split after Musk brought down the banhammer and fascism, people went to mastodon, a fediverse version of twitter, just like this is a fediverse version of Reddit/forums.
Microblogs are where you'd see mastodon content, for example.
But you can also use them directly without using mastodon too, as they're also a native thing here.
Welcome back to the internet of the turn of the millennium.
Policy? There almost certainly isn't one. This is the internet that isn't controlled by a corporation so I'd assume that it's the same as the old internet from before that happened.
Nobody is likely to be giving a shit here, just like none of us gave a shit before
Basic rules would likely be, don't be a POS and you'll be fine, just like it always was. Nobody's going to care about your alts if they're not being total cunts to everyone.
And yes, this means that I clearly don't know the answer to your question in absolute terms, and yet I'm answering anyway (I know right, fuck me), but having looked around here, I'm seeing a place that's run by normal people, just like the internet was always run before everything got silo'd into vast corporate web platforms. I'm pretty confident that it works the same way.
If so, the policy would be, "do whatever you want, but don't be a shit".
