  Facebook. You are describing facebook.

    Facebook attempts to be an all-in-one everything platform for messaging, photos, video, events, marketplace, news, etc. It is a bloated, incoherent mess.

    Most people actually prefer dedicated apps for different activities, with each app being better suited to the individual task.

      Just like the UNIX philosophy of old - Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

        Yes! but still I think fediverse could benefit from plugin-based development. So it would be “Write plugin that do one thing and do it well”

      So it would be reasonable for people to choose to enable or disable plugins. So if you don’t want to watch videos simply delete the video plugin then the program would work no different than what you desires

      I think maybe it is possible for one app to be most suited on everything? I could be wrong
