@mittorn I don't really want to change its *semantic*. Reply is a reply.
But I do want to change it to be handled more naturally, more akin to how actual people converse. We generally don't reply to each person separately, if we're in group conversation (that would be a pain), and the Fedverse is one huge worldwide gangbang of group conversation, and that's what I like about it, and it's also why I am frustrated with the current tree model as it is.
Also, what we're doing here is basically writing organizing notes. So there's a possiblilty for "the Obsidian effect", where you build a graph of every note you have and then find a point or a place on a graph every note converges to, and that's where you start getting new ideas. I want this, but on the global and collective scale.
Of course, I know that this is wild speculation. Do you think I don't know that it will be a demanding change, technically? Come on. Give me *some* fucking credit.

So, you want something which is more like a basic group chat or offtopic forum? AP is not a chat platform by design :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

Obsidian was made specifically for that purpose. Fedi was not. Fedi is a social network, not a notekeeping protocol. I don't know why you would want to use a literal "gangbang of group conversation" as a note keeping platform. It's like throwing all your notes on the floor claiming they are organized, all while you would need to reread them all the time you'd need to find anything useful.
