Apologies. I didn't mean to sound condescending. It just seemed like a desire to do something so entirely at odds with the two approaches to online interaction (open, user controlled, non-hierarchical vs closed, corporate controlled and top down implementations) that it confused me.
- SamBam 7y ago"...so entirely at odds with..." That sounds a bit like "why would you even want to run Photoshop on Unix? It's not open source! It's an entirely different philosophy!" Many people balance different needs and values. Someone might like the idea of open federation but still need to follow people on Twitter for their day job, or simply follow a thousand interesting people that they don't want to simply drop just like that, to enter into a comparative wasteland. Providing people with half-way solutions actually encourages more people to come and transition smoothly.
