Can anyone explain to me what a Microblog is and how is it different from a thread? Are they similar to what a Toot is on Mastodon? (kbin.social)

Microblogging is the name for things like Twitter. You "blog" only small texts like the famous 160 characters of Twitter. A tweet or toot would be called micropost or just "status update". On microblogs you usually don't have threads but replies to a post. These replies and the initial post effectively form a thread but all the replies are also separate posts by the user.
