I like what this explores but it certainly seems to favor semi-continuous threads of conversation rather than thousands of disparate discussions that you'd normally have on social media. Getting a graph with a friendly-UX for the latter would be quite difficult to achieve.

This was born of frustration with email systems. So many now effectively force you to "top-post", so in an email with three or four questions you tend to get (a) only one answered, and (b) some text with no context.

I've always favoured in-line replies, but most email clients actively work against that, and people are just generally too lazy to do the trimming. I wrote about this some time ago[0].

So yes, this is intended for a single conversation, like a single email thread. Each different discussion would get a different discussion, if you see what I mean.
