   @banjofox @mayel how does #Fedibook differ from #Diaspora, #Hubzilla, #Friendica, #NextCloud and all the other projects with similar goals?

     @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!

     • banjofox
     @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 a bicycle and a monster truck can use the same roading protocol. A bike, being smaller, can be accepted more places

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox the truck, being larger and heavier, can carry more stuff, and climb rougher terrain.

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox different destinations, different carrying capacities, common carrier. Does that make sense?

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox an app defines an API for each data type, connecting to the module, and plugins translate for different protocols

     @zatnosk @fla @banjofox protocols used in parallel, so every available service is covered by at least one of the protocols, maximum peering

     @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
