@trwnh @OliviaVespera Why do you feel that the 7th & 8th cases are not "valid"?"＠type":"Banana""＠type":["Banana"]...At the following, "type" is set as an alias for "@type":https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams.jsonldBut, AFAICT, in JSON-LD creating an alias (such as "type") does not make the original form (such as "@type") invalid.Are you claiming the 7th & 8th form are invalid JSON-LD?Or, are you claiming the 7th & 8th form are valid JSON-LD, but invalid ActivityPub?Or, something else?

@nik 1/I did consider that the activity ID could be the Idempotency field, but to me that has a lot of cons....

@evan I added a comment there describing a counter-proposal for the actual mechanism described in the SocialCG document, if alternatives are still under consideration.@reiver apologies for piggybacking on your ticket.

@reiver perfect tysm

@rdp @reiver we have a problem on the Fediverse; once one implementation decides on a shape it will accept for activities, everyone else has to limit what they send to that shape.

@reiver I think John's https://browser.pub/https://mastodon.social/@reiver/116484863380793757 is a very good way to map ActivityPub to web content. Maybe someone can convert it into a browser extension.@js

I've been using .json so that text editors can do syntax highlights.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/116471973046146144If an ActivityPub Actor is something that has an "inbox" or an "outbox" (i.e., it could have just one or both) then —Perhaps we should also be talking about "sources" and "sinks", too. Where —An ActivityPub Source is an Actor with just an "outbox" (and no "inbox").And, an ActivityPub Sink is an Actor with just an "inbox" (and no "outbox").#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev

What makes an ActivityPub Actor and Actor?I think it is probably a bad idea to just restrict it to things with 'type': "Application", "Group", "Organization", "Person", and "Service". Restricting it to just those would mean you couldn't have new actor types (and sub-types) in the future.So then, do we do it in a duck-typing way? And if "yes", how?Maybe if something has an "inbox" OR and "outbox" it is an Actor. I.e., it could have just one of those.#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev

@ethernick I was thinking, for example, something that an ActivityPub 'Place' (i.e., "type":"Place") could also have an "outbox".

Should an ActivityPub 'Place' be used to represent a fictional place?https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-placeSuch as a fictional place in a story, or a video game?#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediFiction #FediGames

If anything, I think it should rather be a game about regular humans taking down the facade of Meta Humans, with unrealistic, sexualized bodies and practiced smiles
