And why must I create a new ‘article’ to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.
I’m coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also… not; very uncanny valley.
Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?
There probably isn’t the time or will to do this, but it’d be fun if there was a “Reddit refugee” mode you could set in your profile that swapped all the words out to the more familiar ones. It’d only last until Reddit sent a cease-and-desist over trademark usage but that might still help a lot of people make the transition.
To make it feel extra-familiar for Reddit refugees, perhaps also cause people with that mode set to occasionally randomly double-post their comments, randomly show them a “You broke kbin!” screen, or maybe even simulate an abusive moderator randomly banning them from communities.
