@kissane Oh, certainly. From the conversations I've had with folks building them, though, they often work the same way because that is their understanding of how social media Should Work; because they are familiar with the big platforms.
I've sometimes had discussions with people about this, and about how maybe that model isn't great, and then they usually ask "do you have something I can read about how to do it better?" and I just come up empty.
@joepie91 Totally fair, but I feel like it’s true even when we’re talking about more DIY systems, which worries me!
