what exactly is a blip?

I'm kind of curious what it is, since it is in the options of the page, I ask because it is something that has caught my attention, but I have never used it because I don't know what it is or how it works.

Pretty much e621's designated shitposting area.

See e621:Blips.

• "Blips are a way for users and artists to make brief announcements to the rest of the site. Blips are publicly viewable and can be replied to by any other member."

ok, thank you for your answer, although I don't think I'll use it at some point, I'm not here much.

it's Twitter if Twitter only had like a dozen active users.
