Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Seeing federated platforms really makes me wish gaming platforms like Steam, Xbox, and Origin federated, for cross compatible friends lists, game invites, multiplayer, etc. Think there's a chance? (pawb.social)

It's a possibility in the long term. Facebook/Meta is looking to start a federated Twitter alternative, and you can be certain other companies will observe it closely.

Whether or not this is a positive thing, however, is up for debate...
