   @smallcircles @julian It's ok for people to have conversations they want in the places they already are.

     And a deeper discussion is that there really is no "the fedi", or they shouldn't be that notion for our future of social networking. Unless you want to refer to some broad category. I see 'fediverse' the same as internet and web, category names.

     What do we want to DO on this fedi of ours? What needs do we have wrt communications online?

     Microblogging certainly nice, I am doing it right now. But is shouldn't be the only hammer and everything nails. Enfin, you know the discussion :)

     To get things on a forum archive in the right place, I'd have to mention that place in my mastodon toot. And then the next place too, unless they happen to be cross-federated with the other one.

     One thing we discussed in the path was Unbound Groups brought in a FEP by Diogo of GNU Social, whereby the groups aren't bound to a single server instance where they are defined as an actor. This might help give the same community belonging that is more stimulating for collaborative actions.

     @julian imho..

     Pros and cons of decentralization + current state of fedi as a microblogging dominant thing.

     We're on a fragmentiverse,where community waters down, what you send today is lost in history tomorrow. There is no search, no archive.

     We are on a good path but the kind of organization we need to mature social web open standards and enabling technologies is not well supported on fedi.

     Barrier to sign up to a single forum removed, easier access, but dispersal of the community efforts.
