[ANN] Draft for kind-of a Gemini Fediverse.

[Kevin Sangeelee]

I'd argue that, for the moment at least, the more wheels being invented,
the better! As I see it, all current wheels are square (ok, maybe some are
octogonal).

What we have is many services copying Twitter and Facebook, yet
communication is a very nuanced thing - something they have taken and
distilled, genetically modified, mass-produced, and used to flood the
market.

Yet, real human communication is truly nuanced. Consider the difference
between a joke well told vs badly told, sometimes it's not even the words,
it's just the timing, or intonation. There's a lot to explore to move from
being merely 'engaging' to 'enriching'.
