   @banjofox @rysiek #Diaspora is compatible with #Friendica and #Hubzilla, although they reverse-engineered the #DIaspora protocol to get this

     @banjofox I guess I'm asking why start a totally new project, instead of adding the features you want to one (or more) of the existing ones?

     @banjofox there's a consensus emerging that full compatibility will be achieved by moving protocol support into shared modules ...

     @banjofox like a Ruby gem that supports any federation protocol via plugins. Or the Federation library in Python

     @banjofox language choice is a totally valid reason for a new project :) A Rust module/ library for federation protocols would be great!

     • Banjoflux
     @banjofox true, but that was due to the #Diaspora protocol specs being under-documented, having only been used internally up to then

     @banjofox awesome! Look forward to testing #FediBook when you've got an alpha ready :)

     @fla @zatnosk @banjofox the difference is that email is a discrete and finite set of functions (send, receive, attachments etc)

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox you can't have multi-function client X, and expect all functions to work with all contacts, unless they all use X

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox yes, good #UX requires that clients are able to signal to users when a contact can and can't use a service

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox but imagine if you couldn't add a new function to any client until you added them in all clients. This is unworkable

     @fla @zatnosk @banjofox most of the #fediverse / #federation clients now support more than one protocol. I'm not sure exactly how they do it

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox maybe ask @maiyannah or @gargron or @mike how multi-protocol support works?

     @fla @zatnosk @banjofox "I hate this branch thing" you can't have or follow meaningful conversations without preserving a sequence of posts

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox the inability of most #fediverse / #federation clients to preserve continuity between posts is a major #UX fail IMHO

     @banjofox @zatnosk @fla you could open some Issues, but why GITHub? Why not, say, a Discourse instance

     For example, the #Diaspora team run their own instance of #Discourse. Here's one run by #Disroot.org

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox that's why I thought of moving the discussion to Diaspora's forum, or setting one up on Disroot (both use Discourse)
