What if... you had one Fedi account on a generic headless #ActivityPub server that simply hosts and federates your data... and had C2S UIs for microblogging, long form writing, media editing and sharing, link aggregation, games, fitness tracking, and so on, that all used that same Fedi account. Technically, it's a similar concept as ATProto (but no relay and app view) and Solid Pods (but no RDF).
It seems possible... if we can improve the AP C2S API/protocol sufficiently.
@steveSteve Bate This is exactly the sort of thing I'm hoping we see on the Fediverse
One thing that might need some careful design is: how to scope down the access that each of the C2S-connected apps have? A game for example doesn't need to be able to read all of my/my friends' messages, only game-related ones
I think the work Spritely's been doing could be a good building block for such a generic server
