encouraging the use of the thread for the sake of people's notifications as we enter slow-mode.

sidebar: this to me is one of the more interesting uses of this kind of wiki-bot, in a more long-lived chat and communication medium (glad 2 have <@708787219992805407> here for the long-timescales perspective btw). in both this and any future workshops, being able to plug in something like a wikibot that can let different threads get tagged to common concepts through time to different/overlapping discord servers and output to potentially multiple overlapping wikis is v interesting to me.

I'm gonna continue to make it easier to deploy because i feel like the Garden and Stream metaphor is one that can unfold on multiple timescales, and it would be cool to build out the ability to make that easier: how cool would it be if you didn't have to decide on a chat/document medium or have to make a new set at the start of an organizing project since it was arbitrary anyway and your infra supported use and crossposting across many media. 

Eg. the very understanding surfacing of The Google Docs Problem because of Mediawiki's lack of Synchronous Editing Live Editing and the need to remember to link out to external services rather than that being a natural expectation of a multimodal group and having systems that explicitly support that is illustrative to me. Maybe one description is being able to deploy a Context of Interoperability Interoperability: during this time period I am intending these documents/discord servers/hashtags/social media accounts/etc. to be able to crosspost between each other so that everyone needs to to as little as possible to make their workflows align
