This is an experiment in understanding how to transfer the natural way humans communicate in person into a distributed messaging system. The system itself should not be complicated or require all the typical habitual constructions of centralized systems.
We should think of ways to improve discoverability, public, private and safe space abilities in such a system. How do we meet new and interesting people that we will connect with and learn from without burning out? How do we avoid selling our friendships and communication to corporate interests? We should find a way to make the user experience as painless as possible.
