Okay, perhaps I should back up a bit. I am working on a project to use unlisted toot/post threads, large clusters of them, as a CMS (content management system).

I am calling it CALISTA (Community Authored Large Integrated Status Thread Array).

Let’s take the example of a Calista blog. There will be a thread containing a set of posts (like a menu) that will lead you to other threads which each perform a function, like “About”, “Archive”, “Recent Posts”, “Tags”, “Staff”, etc.

And each function thread may have levels of complexity too. Essentially we are simulating an actual blog site in a simple way.

The advantage over the website version of a blog is that, because it is totally composed of posts, the Calista blog is instantly shareable, as a whole or individual blogpost. Commenting is trivial, and comments travel with the blogpost wherever it is shared.

Similar projects (a wiki, a forum, weather forecaster, bulletin boards, news aggregator, etc.) are also possible.

stitch”, the bot I described to you, would be needed to make certain attachments in Calista work right. It’s posts will be blank or trivial, but they will show up all throughout the Calista complex, bring visibility and possibly good reputation to botsin.space.

Sorta like having floor tiles (posts) with your brand on it all over a building (Calista). The building is months away from grand opening to the public.
