Yes, mine was a reference to the concept of graceful degradation:

@me @carl @fediverse
A good metaphor to be used for UI/UX could be Fediverse users as friends in a room commenting TV shows/news that are RSS/Atom feeds: friends can hear each others’ comments but TV is just a one-way communication medium.
@post @me @fediverse That was indeed a good metaphor. I think that kind of interaction in the Fediverse would be very interesting to see. Cultural institutions, civic environments, public actors and so forth being able to use their ordinary web to tell of their activities, but where the choice to engage is on the receiving end.

And we wouldn’t have comments split across multiple unofficial RSS->Fediverse bots as it is now.
Bots connecting different platforms are a waste of energy (and therefore have an environmental impact) when we can instead have open protocols.
@post @me @fediverse Good point too!

Ah thanks didn't know "gracefull degradation" but reminds me of other IT alignment processes in which a customer (me) asked for a "slim/thin" service level instead of a full blown SLA.
But going to use this one instead 👌👌
