GOOD MORNING, #crustr!

In general, in choosing this strategic direction, I paid attention to age, benefits, and maturity of software.

Factors

- the vital 30-50 age group isn't having their communications patterns met by the current Circle of Crust private forums, despite the crucial importance of BBS culture.

- as the 'Crust' proper ages, it is tending towards discord like communication patterns anyway. In fact, some companies are choosing to ditch FB and Tweeter for Discord, for various reasons, as a way to 'interact with customers'.

- the Fediverse seems like a false start to me -- very good in many ways, but not in others, fixed in NOSTR. However, the latter is not 'normie ready' at this time

- ergo, we need an intermediate phase, to transition from Web 2.5 to Web 3.0

THAT IS ALL.
