Awesome feedback, I know the issues with owning social data but having it open as well. There is a project https://joindiaspora.com that was created to address this issue. It never got mass usage because the current data silos are not too awful to use and the majority of people do not care that the data is not portable. Some apps/plugins etc. allow you to post to multiple networks simultaneously making it seem portable.

When I add in the feature for private messages I will add in a way to display statuses on site. I'm using CPT for the statuses so the data can be manipulated in any way WordPress allows.

I think networks should be separate as if they were groups. I'm waiting on JSON API to get into WP core before I would even think about adding multiple site access in app. I can see an option to add sites to a list and then a user in app can search for a niche "group" which is just a self hosted app.

Baby steps...
