Mimic meatspace

When in doubt, try to mimic the social dynamics of meatspace

Meatspace:
- People get together with a small number of others they want to follow up on and build long term relationships with (family, friends, ...)
- People gather around common interests and values (concerts, conferences, sports, games...)
- People organize around common goals (building businesses, ...)

Big Tech Social media:
- People blast out messages to the universe and hope an algo, that lives on bribes, will be friendly enough to get it to the "RiGhT" people
- People consume feeds of messages curated by another algo. Since the sender didn't do the work of listing (and reaching!) the proper recipients, algos fill the void.

👉 Let people selectively reveal themselves:
1 person < private group chat < list of selected profiles < public community < multiple communities < universe
