Thread:Talk:Flow/The problem of threads' homes?/reply (2)

Thank you for clarifying. I didn't understand this particular section was only about user talks.

That's not a problem of home for a thread: if I'm talking with a user, the text of our discussion will of course be either of my or on their userpage, I can't miss it (it can get a bit more complicated if it's a user talk discussion among three or more users). The problem is how to get notifications for all messages directed to me personally.

Hence I don't understand the mention of tabs, currently you "only" have to check the watchlist as for every other discussion. There's of course the mostly theoretical problem of who "owns" a discussion («on "my" talk I can remove the messages I don't want», etc.), but that's a social problem and it's discussed on "Comments protection".

In conclusion, I don't know if this "dropping the concept of home" has any practical effect, but it seems a bit misleading, and possibly complicating stuff, if all you want to say is "they will appear in all feeds" aka "I'll see all messages directed to me in the same place" (obviously good).
