I've grown so tired of microblogging that I find myself starting to think that even Discord is better. Do you know what Discord gives you that microblogging doesn't? Clearly separated communities. Multiple communities per subject. Hell, everything gives you that except for certain platforms.
If everything takes place in a global context like I explained many times before, then communities can only exist as monoliths on the platform. People like to say "the _ community on Bluesky" or "furry twitter" without ever questioning the implications of all this. -
