Reflecting on yesterday's #fediforum, which I'll blog about this weekend. A common claim was "we've built everything _we_ need, now we need to talk to others and build for them." If that's true, why was the event hosted on a closed platform? And used two different closed platforms for note-taking?

Talking to other groups and communities with different needs than us is definitely important, don't get me wrong. But we should also be honest with ourselves about where our own use-cases go unserved or underserved rather than pretending we're done there.

I think we're closer than we've ever been to the open social web bootstrapping all of its own community spaces. But we aren't there yet, and I think that's a neat milestone worth building towards.
