sad I missed this one. we need a social media for the public square and attention democracy, and an agreed upon best way to do groups. maybe they overlap but people need to think about what they are doing and what they want out of both. otherwise we'll get lots of complaining and both won't get to be as nice as they could be.
I love #ActivityPub for the former, and wish #matrix could be more like discord for the latter (with messaging and audio/video calls). then interoperate!
