Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of “magazine” and “community”? When you’re federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other.
Would also alleviate confusion for any new adopters.
^I’m pretty sure this is going to be impossible though, since each sides egos will likely get in the way :D^
That’s like saying Microsoft and Sony need to settle on either “Gamertag” or “PSNID”, because otherwise Call of Duty players trying to find their friends online will be confused.
I think users can figure things out.
