Summary

In the social interact rewrite, the group drops a list of about 20 platforms and formalizes only the three protocols in active use: ActivityPub, Lightning and Twitter. If a spec fits three quite different things, it can probably fit whatever comes next. Dave says they won't muddy the water by trying to cover every niche case.

    we can't solve all the world's issues for every little niche user kit use case.
