Despite not being a fan of Twitter, I've actually really enjoyed the microblogging side of Kbin. I have my home feed set to Subscriptions (All Content), so I get a nice mix of threads from my favorite magazines and microblog posts with relevant tags. I also occasionally make microblog posts for things that I feel wouldn't warrant full threads, such as small bits of pixel art or idkbin updates. Unfortunately, these don't seem to federate to other microblogging platforms particularly well, and I ironically get more interaction from Lemmy (which just shoves Kbin microblog posts into its threads feed) than Mastodon.
