That’s an interesting thread!
I’m ambivalent to this quote:
Like, I get that some things about Micro.blog is about getting away from the standard social media grind. But I’ll bring up this photo again: 
I feel like Micro.blog is actively trying to not get me to read his posts. (And I’m bringing up Greg, because I know they are good posts.) And if I saw them on the timeline, I would probably just scroll right by it. (Or do I have to click on a bunch of links to try and find out if it might be something find interesting?)
It feels like if Micro.blog mandated everything to be gray scale, as to not make it too tempting to use. 
I absolutely do not see how this is better than “a timeline full of summaries” - which I don’t fear anyway.
But it’s at least good that it’s something he’d like to solve!
@sod - May I ask, do you know how/if this works with the “Include conversation on post page”? To me it seems like that only pulls from the replies to the post in question, so it doesn’t work if you split it up into two posts like that.
