What do you think about having a custom URI scheme for the fediverse? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Since we are in the fediverse, I think it would be convenient to have a fediverse-wide resolvable fediverse URI scheme, that would look like so:

fediverse://

Client software (browsers, etc) would need to resolve it, just like mailto:

It certainly should happen, but it's not likely because it takes too much momentum
