Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you’re looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

    It’s not related to Meta (name aside)

    As I understand it on kbin a:

    • thread is the equivalent to a Reddit “post”. E.g. it’s the main link/image/text entry that other people can comment on that’s added to a community.

    A microblog is like a “tweet” but added to a particular magazine (aka community)

    So, for example, the all homepage of kbin social is all threads.

    But if you want to just generally throw out something to a community unrelated to any article/thread you do it as a microblog.
