I’m really not happy with any of the social media systems for community and discussion. Somehow I think commenting should be done directly on the blog post webpage or via Webmention and not on a timeline, which means no community.

I just ran across this: Multiverse which appears to be a micro blogging network (eg. Twitter, Mastodon, etc.) Members appear to be able to post more than just text, so you have greater freedom of expression. That seems to be what makes it different. I have not joined so there may be more.
