Facebook Style Feelings/Activities metadata on toots

[shleeable]

Pitch

I'd love to be able to append actions to toots... like "(Actor) is (something) to (something)"
"(Shlee) is (Traveling to) (Adelaide, South Australia)"....
"(Shlee) is (Listening to) (Nine Inch Nails)"
"(Shlee) is (Feeling) (poorly)"
"(Shlee) is (Playing) (Disco Elysium)"
"(Shlee) is (Eating) (lunch)"
"(Shlee) is (Thinking about) (E2E Encryption)"

Motivation

It's a fun little extra detail that can be appended to a toot. Same complexity as appending an image.

This would be fun to have, maybe you want to make a post on http://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ about this so other activitybub/fediverse software can share ideas about how we might do this in a standards compliant way!

As a pleroma developer(will copy to social hub if the topic gets created, I'm there too):

I think this should be done with some HTML semantics like microformats, it's information that can be quite useful to have with a post depending on how it's used and I think it would be quite sad to not have it in all the implementations (mastodon profile fields are one example of non-interoperable metadata that contains important information).

PS: This feature is a quite old one, I've seen it in many blogs/forums platforms including early ~2005 ones
