@fluffy@plush.city @christin@lsbt.me @kkarhan@c.im > xkcd 927 is a thought-terminating cliché that gets overly cited Yes, I agree it is cited too often. I was hesitant to mention it for that reason, esp. since you clearly gave this a lot of thought, and I am just passing by giving feedback. The format appears to be complementary but also quite overlapping. Creating a new spec - depending on your expectations wrt adoption - takes a ton of effort to bring to any widespread use. But perhaps that is not needed. Wrt AP I am thinking myself about a Protosocial protocol extension that forms an 'overlay network' of sorts, to help bring more rigour to various network communication patterns. https://discuss.coding.social/t/protosocial-activitypub-protocol/665 It is on the slow burner, as I can't afford to spend time on it atm.
