@evan @erincandescent i may have not worded myself precisely enough but i am not against other uses; what i am uneasy with is the collapse of every paradigm of communication into a one-size-fits-all application of protocols. like, it would be better to have some consistent identity layer that could be used to not only publish streams of activities, but also to do proper messaging with a predefined audience to which people can be added and removed, and also to join and participate in communities.
