From my experience, you really have to immerse yourself in micro.blog for a month before you start understanding it’s features and the community. Even then, MB is deeper and more subtle than you think after that month.
@sproutlight It will go back to normal soon, mostly kind and gentle talk about: Mac stuff, neat photos, talk about Apple, cats, guinea pigs, bird watching, occasional Windows stuff, some politics, RSS, iOS, emoji, eating, food, the Web, coffee, ourselves. Not all in that order. :-)
