hot take: many of the growing pains the fediverse cyclically deals with stem from the extremely limiting "follow" modelling of human interaction. I feel like addressing this is a foundational issue if we want to encourage actually healthy use of these spaces.

@djsundog I like this take, keep going. does this mean "implementing circles" because i could be on board with that

@t54r4n1 I would very much like a more circle-like model, yes!

@zx @djsundog @t54r4n1 yes, the title of the PR I linked is "Fedibird merge"

@darius @djsundog @t54r4n1 this is what I get for typing first and reading later 😬

@darius @t54r4n1 your efforts are constantly a blessing and a boon upon this space, Darius, and I am forever appreciative of the thought and care you bring to these topics.

@darius oooh, nice!

Are they going to be somehow related to Lists? I could see how ability to post to listmembers would be pretty nice.

@rysiek @djsundog @t54r4n1 they use the list UI as currently implemented in Fedibird. "create circle from list" is not supported but I could see adding that

@darius right!

I wasn't talking just about UI. I am kinda thinking that maybe Circles and Lists should just be the same thing? Why split into two separate pieces of functionality?

But also, I might be not understanding Circles well enough. 🤷‍♀️

@rysiek @djsundog @t54r4n1 circles are about people who follow you, lists are about people you follow. conceptually different, not easily translatable

continually impressed with how much @noellabo puts out for fedibird that then gets picked up by forks years later!

@darius @djsundog @t54r4n1 oh, that's exciting! it the UI that it's going to get added as more options in the local/global dropdown?

@alive @djsundog @t54r4n1 probably, and this (planned but not guaranteed) will go hand in hand with a simplification of that interface along with an "advanced" setting you can turn on to get ALL 672 of the posting options if you want (basically a "classic controls" setting vs a simplified setting)
