Spaces?
As someone reading this from the periphery (and not really even as I have been in the ecosystem, building etc), my first thought was this was some kind of live audio conversation thing ala Twitter Spaces. But nope. I know I know, you want to do your own thing, define your own naming, but alot of people still view things as far as Bluesky's relation to Twitter, in the consumer lens. You'll get there as far as independent separation but it's not there yet (similarly, Bluesky & atproto's connection/independence).
And this isn't even a consumer thing in this respect, but a dev/protocol thing.... couldn't have gone with something like Zones... Permissioned Zones?

"space" is just a common English term for this kinda thing, as you can see in any dictionary ever:
Collins: "A particular kind of space is the area that is available for a particular activity or for putting a particular kind of thing in."
Cambridge: "an empty area that is available to be used"
why do you think Twitter called them spaces in the first place?
