This is my understanding as well, @a@kbin.social¹. And with this understanding, I concur with @anonymouse:

they made things overly complicated

Indeed. It’s not a meaningful separation particularly when the microblogs have no significant enforcement of being “micro”. The /feeling/ I get is that kbin threads (which are very poorly named as @s6original discovered) are for high effort often lengthy content with a graphic, formatting, and more thought-out content. But kbin supports formatting in both which makes them redundant.

I suspect if someone makes a lot of short off-the-cuff “threads” a moderator might want to have a word with them.

#kbin is a scatter-brained design.

(edit) footnote:

1. woah, there’s a #kbinBug. I wrote “@ a-man-from-earth @ kbin.social” (no spaces) and kbin could not handle the hyphen, apparently.
