@riverpunk@defcon.social Kind of like the analog of people on Tumblr and Twitter being mostly disconnected from each other -- except in this case, you could still search up and follow people from other "rooms", you just wouldn't naturally discover their account unless you made an explicit point to do so. isn't that how fedi already works? you only see what you follow or what your server knows about when looking in the global timeline/wheb following hashtags (which for bigger servers like defcon.social, mastdon.social, &c can be quite busy)
