It is a pity that #Peertube has never been well integrated with #Microblogging.

We don't need to custom build a bunch of modal windows in every fedi app. There are platform provided solutions to this problem.

At the same time, mastodon lacks quote posts, or any other way to attach AP objects to a post. Which would solve this problem and more.

@jenniferplusplus @smallcircles @peertube platform provided solutions? So maybe at a stretch FedCM?

And similar/compatible capabilities in every operating system

@jenniferplusplus @smallcircles @peertube protocol handlers aren't great because it limits you to one account, this has been discussed at length

@thisismissem @smallcircles @peertube
No more so than the redirect modal does. If you land on your mastodon instance and can't easily switch to your other account on that instance, that seems like a mastodon problem, not a protocol handler problem. And the protocol handler doesn't require developers to adopt mastodons route schemes in order to be intelligible to the redirect modal.

@jenniferplusplus @smallcircles @peertube right but at least I can have accounts on different servers.

@thisismissem @smallcircles @peertube
You can do that with protocol handlers, too. If you register multiple handlers, you get a dialog to choose between them. Which is not different than the redirect modals, except it requires no typing.

And native apps can also be handlers, making the whole ecosystem less awkward.

@smallcircles @thisismissem @helge i don't have more standards energy in me right now but i've signed up for notifs for that thread and plz don't hesitate to ping me again on it

@johnny: But you would be such a good contributor. "As Johnny, I want to see all replies".

However, I understand not wanting to write this. I would probably end up with a long rant about what I actually want, and then delete it, because the density of information is thin. No prior experience exists.

@helge @smallcircles @thisismissem i just meant right now as in literally this moment but i will come play soon

There was a nice list of protocol design related documents at IETF that I added to the thread:

Wiki: Vision for a Fedi Specification

This topic is for people who believe, that we need a better specification underlying the Fediverse. In order to develop such a thing, one needs a group of people that work towards a common goal. The goal of this wiki is…
