I also really, really like the ability to microblog at a magazine. A whole tab just for the casual, quick, less thought out posts that would make people sneer in disgust and smash the downvote button for having wasted their time on reddit. Probably with a "cool story bro" or "sir this is a wendy's" on the way past. I feel a lot freer to just engage without worry here.

Though I find I'm hesitant to use this feature on communities that aren't hosted on kbin (e.g. lemmy), knowing they'll probably just see it as a regular post and have exactly the reaction above.
