@rigelk @jpmens @kmk I think the authors are not very interested: they say it would turn Mastodon more into a one-to-many medium, instead of a place for conversations between peers.

@bortzmeyer @rigelk @jpmens @kmk
Maybe it would be interesting to have a kind of temporary instance or room which allows people to subscribe to an instance setup just for the duration of a conference.
You will keep the idea of Mastodon of being between peers and you will be able to follow everything concerning the conference.

@KillianKemps @bortzmeyer @jpmens @kmk a kind of spawnable, lightweight instance? I like that idea, but who's gonna host it?

Maybe we want a different kind of hash-tag. One that embeds the name of the server gathering the debate.

@rigelk @bortzmeyer @jpmens @kmk
Yes a hash tag linked to server would be interesting. A kind of "relay". It would not store the messages, but only forward the toots to everyone which is subscribed.
