yeah totally

i could really hair split about "link aggregation" since reddit community centric rather than Tag centric, but get your point, imo it's a bad link aggregator, browsing and archiving related links is horrible, which is why we shouldn't emulate it. anyway

yeah activitypub has "groups" and "aggregation" already in the spec, Mastodon, pleroma etc. all made a conscious decision to never even try to do groups at the very beginning and we're dealing with the consequences ( like it seem mast are now obsessing over non-essential features or the css theme than trying anything new )

but yes we need to think alot more broadly about what we want from social media and not be limited to imitating corporate models

people say silly things like "we can't do that, it's not in the spec" when the spec doesn't matter, the spec is vaporware, there are a million ways for servers in a network to communicate with each other, and a lot of old methods like rss/atom, xmpp or even nntp could be used in new ways ( that almost no fedi servers have built in RSS readers even tho this is *trivial* to code boggles the mind )

I'm a big fan of the Zot protocol developed by Mike who made Hubzilla, Friendica and Streams, i think would agree with everything you said, but I think the weakness of those platform is they lack the front-end sparkle that mast/pleroma/misskey has... Hubzilla but with misskey type interface would be a fucking beast
