@Tho99@mendeddrum.org that's very cool but they could instead form a more closed group using lots of other tools, like #matrix. still uses FOSS decentralized tech. using fedi for this brings up two problems imo. few people are part of one community. so you'd have to choose or have multiple personal accounts, something we're kinda trying to avoid. a norm of loose moderation on fedi is good for attention/growth (what many news fans want here), but bad for tight communities. getting that wrong hurts both.
