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 tweeting, or tooting, or similar. Very short messages, usually from one person and directed to whomever happens to notice them.

A thread is a collection of comments from people replying to one another, usually organized in a tree structure. It's more like a conversation.
