Yeah I know that long-form content was one of the SWF's first projects (or at least, that's what I remember), but standard.site is just one example of many, and a more prominent one as making long-form content on protocols seems to be especially popular.
I guess I am just frustrated that often it feels like the coordination only exists within a smaller bubble of "larger" projects, mostly Mastodon and perhaps things like GoToSocial. Looking at ourselves, projects like Sharkey or Akkoma, to my knowledge none of these were contacted about anything over the past year or so, despite having similar priorities -- we've wanted to ship an "Article" post type for a while now for longer form posts, but for now we've only ended up using it for /about and other such internal pages, in part due to time, and in part due to the semantics between how this is displayed differing so much between software.
We already have code to handle specific deficiencies between say, "old quotes" and "new quotes" a-la what Mastodon does now, versus what everyone else did before, like inserting a mention to posts we quote to work around the fact that Mastodon doesn't receive them otherwise (which is, to be clear, a workaround that stuck from before Mastodon got quotes)
