i really wish fedi software was more focused on web publishing, yknow, publishing resources to the world wide web

and you could separately manage communities and have discussions

and you could also separately message people or chat rooms

and you could separately read/consume all of these disparate forms of communication instead of having them collapsed into the same thing (to poor effect)

@trwnh that’s exactly why I tried to bring WordPress into the fediverse!

infinite love ⴳ

@pfefferle this isnt against wordpress, but the concept of publishing into the fediverse is kind of flawed at present, and imo it comes down to a few things:

- as2 being better fit for an “activity stream” or stream of activities than it is for publishing resources
- mastodon et al being inspired by social media and aiming more for replication of “posts” across “instances” rather than for publishing
- current paradigms treating the fediverse as a discrete network instead of as the web itself
