Just a random thought on the fandom spaces thing: I like to think where most of us are is at the online equivalent of a table at a foodcourt. Some conversations, even in public, are really only meant for just the ones at that table, but because we are in a public space, strangers can overhear what we say and join in, whether we want to or not. Which is a bit of a bummer when things are misunderstood due to lack of context because the context is on the other side of the court, or not even in that same mall. And in those instances, I at least have wished we could opt for a more private booth with the curtains drawn.
