Definitely room for UX exploration, but no-ones has a single social graph. It's the biggest lie zuck ever told. 😅 There's a lot of writing on this, but a decent place to start is Erving Goffman; we wear different masks and perform to different audiences depending on social context.

A great little thread for distinct social graphs. @sprk.so will definitely be taking ‘hints’ from existing ones (like Bsky), already in the works.

we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only
