Then, I explored the Lemmy-verse a bit. I searched for specific "communities" and quickly felt overwhelmed with the posting structure. I don't think there is a way to mark a message for later replies. There's no way to even save a particilar post as a later reference. And, of course the whole thing requires a live internet connection at all times. O>> Element is as far I would take the federated experience.

Cool to see, and A> compare, these different styles of communication systems. I suppose technically, Element is one of the interfaces for the system. The system is actually called Matrix. I primarily use it for one-to-one secure/encrypted messaging. I like the way it syncs between my various desktops and droid phones. But Session seems to be even better for that. I've never been a fan of Twitter - the posting system just seemed cluttered with the #tag stuff and it was easy to get side-tracked. Element/Matrix has also been explored as a BBS-like system by a few people. tqwNet is an example. However.. its matrix presence seems to have died down.
