People keep calling the main area a 'lobby' and it's wrong

I've seen at least five posts this week where someone refers to the central chat space as a lobby, but the original design doc from 2018 clearly labels it the 'Hearth'. It matters because a lobby is just a pass-through, but a hearth is where you gather and stay. Has anyone else read the old community notes?

That original intent really changes how you see the whole space.

But that original intent can also trap you in the past, rileyb61. Focusing too much on what something was supposed to be can stop you from seeing what it actually became. Sometimes the best use of a space is the one people made for themselves, not the one some old plan called for.

Totally, I read a piece that backed up what @rileyb61 said about intent shaping your view.
