The fediverse – lots of different facets, microboggling, pictures/video, etc, but they’re all venues you shoot your load to and stand back to witness appraisal etc
What about a different mode such as, well, if I wanted to plug in my electric guitar and practice a bit with a few other people synchronously every few mornings of a week before work?
A thing like that is nothing like the shape of the fediverse now, but it has users/accounts and other similar stuff, just the dynamic is completely different
