   @julian You're right, the choice of software shouldn't matter. Our goal is seamless interoperability.

     @trwnh @julian Almost all social networks have profiles and posts.
     If application is doing something completely different, then we don't need to interoperate. But within a federated social network interoperability is the goal because otherwise user experience is going to be poor.

     that's a bit simplistic imo. software doesn't matter, sure; what matters is what the software lets you *do*. but "interoperability" is not a goal in itself. it's a means to an end. for different software that let you do fundamentally different things in fundamentally different worldviews, there can be no meaningful interoperability.

     example: fedi has concepts and abstractions for "posts" and "profiles". what happens when you don't have these same building blocks?
