@tess @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp while protocol-level support would be ideal, both of these features can work fine (and have been implemented in Bonfire) without it:
- personas (multiple profiles per account) appear as separate users to everyone else, and can be followed individually
- when you address a post to a circle(s) it’s usually not a public post, so we basically bcc the circle members so their servers know who to show it to (similar to a group DM)
@tess @smallcircles @cheddarcrisp granted both of those two features are more focused on privacy (which puts authors/posters in control) than information overload/segmentation, for which we’re thinking about another approach (which puts readers/followers in control): https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/646
