@JensHannemann Since they use activity pub they already, by default, show up as posts on the fediverse... Just boost it or quote boost it.

@freemo Other than mention it it the account metadata, is there a way to link the two accounts on the Mastodon and Peertube instance? Or is this one of the things where I should move to an instance that provides both services at the same time? I kind of like #DiodeZone, though.

@JensHannemann Even a server that provides both services would have them under different subdomains, so that wouldnt change anything.;

@freemo @JensHannemann People want something like SSO which should be possible if fedi apps supported oidc or webauth.

You can add them manually but that's not good integration.

@colinsmatt11 Its great integration to use two standards, IF it becomes a fediverse standard to use them together :)

Extend the eisting standard rather than roll your own.

@freemo There are issues with both as you could have guessed. But I won't go into that discussion because I'm not good with authentication stuff.

But OIDC would be the easiest to implement because almost all fedi apps have OAuth2 which is base of OIDC.

@colinsmatt11 @freemo I don't mind not having SSO, I do use a password manager and I will get a #YubiKey eventually, but it's more about managing identity, i.e. that all these accounts represent the same actual person. Sort of like a verified UUID that can be used to establish that link.

@JensHannemann @freemo At the moment there isn't something like that but we might achieve something similar to it.

I suggest checking out FEP 8b32 (https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-8b32-object-integrity-proofs/2725) by @silverpill

He can explain it better than me, obviously.

@freemo @colinsmatt11 @JensHannemann Fediverse Enhancement Proposals is our alternative to W3C standardization process.
The difference is that with FEPs we don't have to agree on a single spec. Some proposals get adopted by developers, others don't. There's no central authority that decides what people should do.

@colinsmatt11 @freemo @JensHannemann Thanks! I think FEP-c390: Identity Proofs is more relevant to this discussion, because with it we can add a decentralized identity layer to the Fediverse. If two actors have identity proofs signed by the same key, this means these actors are controlled by the same person.

FEP-8b32 is concerned with signing activities/objects, it's an alternative to HTTP signatures.

Whoa where did this FEP thing come from? Beats the hell out of the w3c

@ademan @silverpill @JensHannemann @freemo SocialHub because they want to make fedi better like many users and developers wished.

@colinsmatt11 @freemo @JensHannemann @ademan I think it all started with W3C Social Web working group, but now SocialHub and FEP process seem to exist independently from W3C

@ademan
#FEPs are a collaborative effort to further improve the #Fediverse - beyond the #W3C documents that are already in use.
AFAIK it comes from the community at #socialhub, maybe @smallcircles can tell you more about it.

@schmidt_fu @ademan @JensHannemann @silverpill @freemo

Yes,correct. The SocialHub community has long been a companion to the SocialCG as discussion forum. The SocialCG became less active while SocialHub has a big archive of topics to address for improving the Fediverse ecosystem.

So the Fediverse Enhancement Proposals process was started to formalize and find agreement on a range of implicit protocol mechanics. Anyone can propose a FEP. They are discussed at SocialHub: socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/
