Just my 2 cents as a product manager for a product serving more than 50 million users:
If Forem is to compete with the big social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc) in a meaningful way, then something like connect would be crucial. For example, FB chat has so many use cases and connects people in ways that regular posting/comments can never achieve.
This is similar to the markdown chat feature. If Forem is to compete with the big social networks in a meaningful way, then it should move away from markdown as it is too esoteric and niche for the average user.
