This sounds nice on an abstract level but how do you implement communities with that?
I mean, if I don’t want my regular persona connected with my Chuck Testa erotica that can be solved by having two domains and two POSSE stacks. Costs money but is easy enough in principle.
I might be perfectly fine with the same persona/domain being associated with both my work (Befunge enterprise software development) and my more normal hobbies (interpreting D&D characters as rappers). But the people interested in the hottest developments in two-dimensional ERP software will probably not be interested in my new article on how ill Illmater really is.
So how do I separate these? Tags don’t seem powerful enough for this task; if I have to tag every article with every group of interested people then most posts will drown in tags and careless use of a tag might lead to the equivalent of posting an emphatic affirmation of LGBT rights to a version of Truth Social where the only form of moderation consists of raiding the offender’s blog.
For that matter, how do you moderate POSSE? I can’t come up with a reasonable way to do so.
In the end it seems that it’s a really cool concept if used by renowned tech evangelists and just about nobody else.

About the first point, why not have multiple accounts like we do now?
Make an account for each use case on the platform where it makes sense
