 you can only ever talk to a community while on mainstage.
 
 er wait sorry it was this:
 
 you can only ever talk to people in a community, not the community itself.
 unless you are on mainstage.

 just realized when I got disconnected it gave me a different username, so if
 you've been messaging me I haven't been getting it. Ooops. relogging now to
 try and fix it.

 If you want to add someone to a community, you have to take the time and spend
 the effort to stitch them in. You can't just throw them in the pot - they
 might not stay, and they might spend time on surface socializing that could be
 spent building deeper connections and unlocking new, precious moments that
 require trust and connection.

 it gives a false sense of security for one thing, and it prevents you from
 adding onto it to explain more.
 
 I'd much rather post a clarification, apology, or updated statement attached
 to the main post than allow others to dictate the conversation.

 yep! because the conversation is given room to explore the entire idea space
 surrounding the subject. Versus a conversation, where it's more of a narrative
 between multiple people, each trying to prove their point or share their love
 or exchange stories or display works of art and all the various other things
 people do on Twitter / Mastodon

 I also think that it should be limited to a single server so people can test
 it out, because it's a big structural change that should not be applied to the
 current fediverse.
 
 like, it feels different enough to me, the idea of speaking while floating in
 a sea, versus most other social media sites which are more... focused and
 directed in personal connections.
 
 like, visiting the town square versus visiting your grandma.
