A lot of what people seem to want ... basically isn't a microblogging service.
-
@sandhawke It's all it has to do - but people seem very eager to try to make the silos happen here too.
-
@maiyannah I still think that term is a misnomer though. Microblogging implies more of a one-to-many publishing approach. Practically speaking GS is more of a public microconversation system. It's the interaction that's key, not the publishing.
-
@verius Some people want another private chat program (yacc?) while more others basically just want everyone else to be subject to their whims, neither of which are really the purview of microblogging, both of which they're essentially trying to impose upon this.
-
@maiyannah I wouldn't call yacc a chat program. It certainly isn't very chatty with its error messages.
-
@maiyannah In a sense they do want something like blogging. They speak, others listen. Comments are welcome, but they are the moderators.
-
@maiyannah @verius chat and microblogging are distinctly different. For those people who want chat on a laptop then something like qTox is good, since it doesn't require any servers and so the admin drama disappears.

@phailurebywinning @verius DMs on Twitter are about as private as having a conversation with a NSA agent.
