(2/2)
If not, what features could the developers of @funkwhale and BandWagon (@benpate) add that would allow accounts on their software to be used for release and show announcements, so you wouldn't need a second account on a micro-posting service for that?
I dream of being able to store my online social presence, identity, and history just as — an (organized) set of static files.
A set that I control.
And, I can (if I want to) host myself. (I.e., I am the "source of truth" / "origin" for my files.)

If you cannot get (most) regular people to write JSON-LD, JSON, or even HTML —
But, you might be able to get them (regular people) to write something similar to Markdown and INI —
Then, are there ways you could (explicitly or implicitly) encode JSON-LD type information, such as ActivityPub, into a Markdown-like or INI-like file — in a way where they (regular people) would likely include it?
I suspect — probably yes.

One person's request for Fediverse applications —
Alex wants to be able to choose what the preview image is for a video, chosen from the frames in the video.
...
I can imagine editing tools (in Fediverse applications) would also be useful.
It is also common elsewhere for people to be able to use custom images for preview images.

Some people want BREAKING NEWS.

What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:
• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies
This is an area I think we could improve on the Fediverse —
Nested Comments
This (in the attached screen-shot) is from someone on Twitter who is also on Mastodon and Bluesky.
He seems to be a fan of the nested comments UI on Bluesky.
We have some great applications on the Fediverse. They could be made even greater with this improvement.
Something Fediverse related that I am working on —
Toddlerverse
Basically, what I have been thinking about is —
What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.
(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)
(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)

"Signal was great, but I wanted something I could truly own. Enter Matrix — a protocol, not a platform. I now run my own homeserver, complete with bridges, Maubot automations, and rooms that feel more like digital living rooms than rented chat spaces."
