Add the /me functionality similar to the IRC/XMPP one
As suggested by the title, the idea is to add the /me command like in IRC/XMPP, which references to the same person in a post. This is that its just exchanged by the alias (or the public name better) of the person who write it.
If I put /me on a post and my public name is Echedenyan, when I send the post, it could be great that /me is exchanged by Echedenyan.
I don't know how this thing could federate itself but I thought on being made at client side.
If its exchanged just in the moment that the post is processed before being sent to the Fedi I think it should appear as any other post. If its not possible, just that the front-end exchange /me from the beginning of a post by the public name with a link (maybe) to the user reference in that instance.
When I say "user reference" I mean the cached (or whatever) version of a profile that is given to an user from an external instance. Here I am fedi.absturztau.be/ELR and in other could be whatever.hi/users/wjqiuwhduwhdiuqhiudh.
An example of the idea on a post could be:
- /me writes this post.
- Echedenyan writes this post (or) @ELR writes this post. (This is for the current instance)
- Echedenyan writes this post (or) @ELR writes this post. (This is for other instance. In this case, kitsune.cafe)
