It's been noted that there's a tendency, often described as annoying, of various platforms to focus strongly on discussion /about the platform itself/. I actually see that as fairly natural -- it's going to be the one common interest of most of those who are /on/ that platform.
A very /troubling/ sign of a platform is when such discussions ... fail to pick up any traction.
I'm going to go ahead and declare Ello dead.
