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.

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

Or are you referring to other federated platforms?

@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.
