Gregory's Server@J12t Seems like this question is largely analogous to "would you like salad, or would you like a burger and fries?" We all say we'd like a healthy meal, but not enough of us actually order it to make it a viable option when we're road tripping.

 @danlyke My thesis is that I'd prefer to run a different app in the evening lazing on the couch, for mild entertainment, compared to the daytime app where I, say, want to engage in this conversation that we are having right now. "Another interchangeable app" clearly would be too many. |
@danlyke Yes, indeed. The thing that struck me more, though, is that the thread alludes to a number of entirely different use cases / user needs addressed by **the same** social media application, and it would be so much more useful to think of them as distinct. I wrote down 5 of them on my whiteboard. Need to blog about this. Interestingly, in the fediverse we could actually have different applications for different needs!
