Fediverse hot takes:

  1. The only true client is the browser.

  2. Microblogging be damned.

  3. it’s the instances/servers that are federated, not the users (ie us) … and damn that too.

yes, weird how microblogging is being damned through..a micro-blog post.

@altair222 @mkarliner these are “hot takes” and I intend a degree of humour to them though I stand by their substance at least points worthy of contention.

That being said, I’d prefer all of these and any additions I make being a single blog post.

Not also that I’m posting them to Lemmy, which means they’re all comments to the parent post in a single thread/conversation. All better, IMO, than microblogging.

Do you consider lemmy (this post) to be a micro-blog?

Or are you referring to other federated platforms?

[I'm asking because I genuinely don't know]

@picoblaanket no not at all. I’m not aware of any limit on the number of characters in a post or comment. And the way comments are threaded with each other and within a post is a structure that microblogging doesn’t have at all.

Yes that’s true. This format is great for quality posts and discussions.

Would love to read a blog!
