I read Darius's post, and I realized that it was like "What if you wanted a little corner of the internet for all of your friends?"
In my case it's sadly more like "both of your friends".
Yeah, this was, in fact, one of the major roadblocks I encountered.
But related, tangentially, I've also been somewhat surprised how a lot of the people I know who were early adopters seem uninterested in such things anymore. Not just in making new, weird, questionably sustainable communities for your friends, but also privacy, controlling their own data, all that fun stuff.
Anyway, I digress. Yes to weird, niche, social outposts!
And friendships!
