@smallcircles I didn't expect this to go so far, when posting at first...

I wonder if Mastodon quotes aren't technically related more to embeds than "actual quotes". Cause what a Mastodon quote is doing is always referring to the whole quoted object (Note) without specifying where (and of course the consent, which is magnificent!). So maybe an embed could just be an extended Mastodon-quote where it is specified where it is in the content, e.g. via just using <embed> tags.

"actual quotes": being able to quote parts of something, putting it into context (where in content) and being referring to the whole origin source.

I see that we should continue this discussion on socialhub/the FEPs discussion places.

@andypiper As you wrote a FEP for quoting, I really wonder what you think: isn't it that linking, embedding and quoting have quite something in common, so shouldn't their implementations be derivatives from each other?

@silverpill @liaizon @bonfire @smallcircles @evan @peertube

@silverpill Linking is good, I wonder if this can be fine tuned, to say whether to embed that target object or not. I guess it's maybe kind of related to quoting. I'll have to check quote implementations.

A question for all non-Note focused #ActivityPub developers and thinkers:

Should we ever think of a way how to embed ActivityPub objects into others (in the content)? E.g. embedding a Question object within a long Article?
