So what would it take to publish a paper here on mastodon and do public peer review? Just an agreement to use a few hashtags like #Paper, and in replies things like #PeerReview, #Accept, #Revise, #Reject? Some automatically generated web and pdf output summarising the thread? Submission to something like Zenodo to give a DOI? Linking user accounts to orcid to verify identity? Only real problem I see is that even with markdown and LaTeX, Mastodon posts are not well suited for longer posts with multiple figures etc. Maybe fine for short results though?
I'd use groups or threadiverse communities (like sub-reddits).
One for peer review, and another for "publication" which could require a link to the peer review discussion tree .
On posting to "publication" some automated process ensues for the rest. There formatting can be richer or blog-like too, with comments/discussion trees for both stages too.
