@WelshPixie i am in huge agreement here, for it to be usable and "safe" to use it *needs* to live in it's own context like DMs are on birdsite. The mixed context increases the chance of failure and I would not trust myself to rely on having preconfigured everything correctly...
I get why it's what it is right now and I wouldn't know what should/should not be a product priority but... yeah.
@WelshPixie yeah it's not really "designed" at all - it's clearly just been added on the basis that it's another federation/post propagation mode.
I don't know that it's wrong that it is this way right now, but I do know it would be a shame if "in stream" is how people want it to always be. Usability and context matters, and it's kind of a ticking timebomb if people are using it for anything truly sensitive :/
