Activity Pub? Like, there's coloring books and shit to do while you drink? I'm in.

@the_etrain

Somebody suggested that we should stop saying "instance" and start saying "pub"

The federation drama becomes all about if members of pub x can get in the door at pub y, or if they have to go out and join a different pub to get in

And the "don't let your local become a Nazi bar" story just slots right into the metaphor

@trochee @the_etrain sorry mate I can't join any pubs cuz I can't drink alcohol
