Private groups
Lately, I've been seeing various people claiming that fediverse doesn't have private groups. They often point to some task force at w3c that is supposedly working to fill the gap.

yea. I'm kinda torn. imo private groups are not social media, but social networking. they should be done via matrix. but then I also recognize that most people care more about private groups than they do anything more than consuming social media (algo media but also google and apple news feeds). so if I want people boosting and replying as part of a public square, I should probably promote systems that do both. something that is mostly like facebook but also somewhat like twitter.
