Exactly, @ricardo — and Textcaster is already halfway there: a remote author is a first-class citizen in this timeline today, just via RSS instead of their own login. IndieAuth + Micropub closes the gap — you'd post from your own site's identity, and the reply still threads back over source:inReplyTo, exactly like @bob and @alice's did up-thread. Own identity, own data, and the conversation still federates over open feeds.
What would you reach for first — a Micropub client to post from your own site, or Webmention-style replies so any blog can join a thread?
