The closest thing I could find was [`instrument`](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-instrument) in the AS2 Vocab, but that has a domain of `Activity` only, and is described as "Identifies one or more objects used (or to be used) in the completion of an `Activity`", so it would have to be redefined to work on `Object` as well. - ---- - -@rinpatch: - -Wouldn't an array of `id` work? - ---- - -@trwnh: - -Actually, multiple `id` seems interesting to me for a different thing: nomadic identity.

The draft for bearcaps defines `u` as “The stable URL that the bearer capability URI is associated with for requests”, which is, again, not specifically HTTP(S).

I’d like to lessen that if possible, so that individual implementations have the option to explore alternative lookup strategies for other “publicly dereferencable” schemes without that implying a choice between “hard break in network compatibility” or “stuck using HTTPS for `id` because everyone else is”.

Does following that object imply also following the actor? -* How should you keep track of followed objects? Should they be added to the `following` collection like actors? Should individual objects define a `followers` collection? -* How do you know if an object is followable? If you send a Follow Object to remote software, it may not understand it.

For each post made to Google+, a user could choose to address it to Public, or to selected users (like actors), or to a Circle (like a collection of actors), or to a Community (like a group), or to a Collection (like a category/stream).

The only issue with current language in the spec is that - -> The outbox stream contains activities the user has published, - -and semantically speaking actors are not equivalent to users, nor is the attribution required to match the same actor (or even *be* an actor – `attributedTo` can include another activity, for example). - -Where the previous approach fails is that the `followers` collection may not be included or published. The `followers` property is only a SHOULD and not a MUST. - -For delivery of the Follow activity, we can refer to the guidance on delivery: - -> The [inbox](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox) is determined by first [ retrieving the target actor’s JSON-LD representation](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#retrieving-objects) and then looking up the `inbox` property. If a recipient is a `Collection` or `OrderedCollection`, then the server *MUST* dereference the collection (with the user’s credentials) and discover inboxes for each item in the collection. Servers *MUST* limit the number of layers of indirections through collections which will be performed, which *MAY* be one. - -Which, again, implies that we should just attach `inbox` on anything followable. And if we do that, then we should/must attach `outbox` as well to make it an actor (although in practice this may not be strictly required – it is possible to model having an inbox but no outbox, and some implementations might do this already in apparent violation of the spec). - ---- - -@macgirvin: - -I do recall when Mastodon first implemented ActivityPub and some folks were still using OStatus. In this case the inbox was set to NULL. We implemented AP at exactly the same time and this threw exceptions in my code. Was going to file a bug, but technically speaking I think it’s spec compliant. The language states that an actor must have the “following properties” and these records had the required properties, except they weren’t de-reference-able. In any case I consider this to be a legal interpretation and have code to handle it appropriately. - -A more serious issue is that we implement access permissions to several collections and these are not de-reference-able unless the requestor has permission to access the collection. The spec is incredibly weak where it comes to dealing with permissions, but I have every right to restrict access of a resource to anybody I desire - even if it means my software isn’t technically compliant. This makes the quoted section in your reply contentious. These are deliverable through the forward-to-owner sections referenced elsewhere in the spec so everything still works; but not all collections are de-reference-able by every actor that receives an activity — nor should they be. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -[quote="macgirvin, post:8, topic:114"] -In this case the inbox was set to NULL. -[/quote] - -Hmm. My interpretation is that `inbox` and `outbox` properties MUST be provided, but not necessarily be public. I’m not sure whether it makes sense to set `inbox` to `null` explicitly; is that not the same as excluding it? In any case, the practical implication of the current network (“ActivityPub over HTTPS”, or as I’ve taken to calling it recently, “ActivityPub over HTTPS with Webfinger and HTTP Signatures” :stuck_out_tongue: ) is that one can simply POST to an inbox IRI and have it either return successfully or error out with a 405 Not Allowed (if federation is not implemented). I’d be curious to hear any objections or concerns regarding this. - -[quote="macgirvin, post:8, topic:114"] -I have every right to restrict access of a resource to anybody I desire - even if it means my software isn’t technically compliant. -[/quote] - -I’m not sure if it’s technically “incompliant” to do so, but for what it’s worth, Pixelfed for example provides `inbox` for actors (currently equivalent to users, but under this proposal, it doesn’t have to be), and this `inbox` only supports POST and not GET, for obvious reasons – federation works by POSTing to the `inbox` and GET is only needed for C2S fetching your own inbox with authorization. That doesn’t seem like a problem to me; if anything, it seems natural since the inbox is only for delivery. Setting `inbox: null` or leaving it out implies that the object is not an actor, since it does not have both `inbox` and `outbox` (the only two required properties for actors). Aside from this heuristic, there doesn’t seem to be any other meaning to being an actor. So I would agree that yes, access to resources may be restricted without authorization. This doesn’t seem like an issue, although I may be misunderstanding or overlooking something. - -[quote="macgirvin, post:8, topic:114"] -This makes the quoted section in your reply contentious. These are deliverable through the forward-to-owner sections referenced elsewhere in the spec so everything still works; but not all collections are de-reference-able by every actor that receives an activity — nor should they be. -[/quote] - -Inbox forwarding could perhaps be applicable, but not any more so than it already is. - -To clarify, the assumed / proposed flow is something like this: - -1. I GET an actor at `https://example.social/actors/1` and see that their `streams` advertises `https://example.social/collections/1`: - -``` -GET https://example.social/actors/1 HTTP/1.1 -Accept: application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" - -{ -"@context": [...], -"id": "https://example.social/actors/1", -"type": "Person", -"inbox": "https://example.social/inboxes/1", -"outbox": "https://example.social/outboxes/1", -"streams": ["https://example.social/collections/1"], -... -} -``` - -2. I want to `Follow` the `Collection` at `https://example.social/collections/1` for updates. (Let’s say this `Collection` is advertised within `streams` and represents some categorization of posts, similar to Wordpress categories or Google+ Collections. Its items contain some arbitrary objects like `Note`s that have been published within the category/stream.) -3. I perform `GET https://example.social/collections/1`, optionally with an HTTP Signature for my actor `https://ap.trwnh.com/actors/1`. The server responds with a `Collection` containing only the items I am authorized to see, based on the HTTP Signature attached. If no signature is attached, then only items with `audience: as:Public` will be returned (likewise for `to`/`cc`/etc if the server software uses those for addressing instead of `audience`). - -``` -GET https://example.social/collections/1 HTTP/1.1 -Accept: application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" -Signature: keyId="https://ap.trwnh.com/actors/1/publicKey",... - -{ -"@context": [...], -"id": "https://example.social/collections/1", -"type": "OrderedCollection", -"totalItems": 1312, -"first": "https://example.social/collections/1?page=1", -"last": "https://example.social/collections/1?page=132", -"inbox": "https://example.social/inboxes/1", -"outbox": "https://example.social/outboxes/2" -} -``` - -4. From this response, I parse for the `Collection`’s `inbox` property. If it does not have one, I assume it cannot be followed. If it does have one, then I assume I can send a `Follow` there. In this example, `https://example.social/collections/1` has `inbox: https://example.social/inboxes/1`. (This happens to be the inbox for `https://example.social/actors/1`, but it doesn’t have to be. This is an implementation detail.) To follow the stream for updates: - -``` -POST https://example.social/inboxes/1 HTTP/1.1 -Content-Type: application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" - -{ -"@context": [...], -"type": "Follow", -"actor": "https://ap.trwnh.com/actors/1", -"object": "https://example.social/collections/1" -} -``` - -5. The remote server then responds as per the individual implementation’s logic, e.g. with an `Accept Follow` - -This is of course open to different methods of access control, object capability delegation, etc. – the key point is that the followable object has an `inbox` to `POST` a `Follow`, which I prefer over heuristics like dereferencing `attributedTo` and looking for an `inbox` there. It is simpler to just provide the `inbox` directly. And you might as well provide an `outbox` too and make it a full-fledged actor, since being an actor doesn’t actually imply much. Neither `inbox` nor `outbox` has to be public, anyway – they just have to be there. - -One other addendum is that, last I looked into this, I saw some discussion around Friendica and Zap having or planning support for `Follow Note`, but I was not able to find how this support was implemented, if it was. - ---- - -@macgirvin: - -Interesting. Yeah, that all make sense. - -As I recall the rationale for inbox = null was a hint that an actor exists at this address, but it is only useful by some other protocol from ActivityPub. If you perform some alternate or broader scoped discovery (outside of AP) you might find that you can actually communicate with it. - -We perform Follow Note and if I recall Ignore Note as internal activities to indicate you want to see (or not see) notifications for this thread in the future. We currently don’t federate these activities - they’re strictly for internal use. The object is always the top-level post in a thread as these platforms default to conversation/threaded display. - -Oh and the comment about permissions wasn’t really about inbox/outbox but about recipient collections. We permit people to hide who is in their followers/following and circles/aspects collections if they don’t feel like sharing these with the world. These will return 403 if the owner doesn’t want anybody to see their contents. This affects the address de-duplication sections of the spec since these collections can only be expanded/iterated by their origin server. We do filter outbox contents based on the request http-signature but I think this is common practice. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -This may be off-topic but it’s worth pointing out that most projects I’m familiar with tend to respond with some valid JSON(-LD), but intentionally leaving out any details the author does not want visible. - -* Mastodon’s “Hide your network” option will return an `OrderedCollection` with the only useful property being `totalItems`. This is because Mastodon’s philosophy is to hide only the contents of the collection while still revealing metadata (presumably out of some concern for signaling “trustworthiness”, which to me seems flawed, but I digress): - -``` -GET https://mastodon.social/users/trwnh/followers HTTP/1.1 -Accept: application/activity+json - -{ - "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", - "id": "https://mastodon.social/users/trwnh/followers", - "type": "OrderedCollection", - "totalItems": 2482 -} -``` - -* Pixelfed currently does something similar, but intentionally “lies” and claims that there are 0 items while explicitly returning an empty array as the value: - -``` -GET https://pixelfed.social/users/trwnh/followers HTTP/1.1 -Accept: application/activity+json - -{ - "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", - "id": "https://pixelfed.social/users/trwnh/followers", - "type": "OrderedCollectionPage", - "totalItems": 0, - "orderedItems": [] -} -``` - -* Pleroma has separate toggles for hiding either the items or the count (or both). If the items are hidden, the `orderedItems` will simply not be present. If the count is hidden, the `totalItems` will simply not be present. If both are hidden, both properties will simply not be present. On a UX level, hiding the counts requires hiding the items, because hiding only the count leaves you open to manually counting the items yourself. - -``` -GET https://letsallovela.in/users/at/followers HTTP/1.1 -Accept: application/activity+json - -{ - "@context": [...], - "first": "https://letsalllovela.in/users/at/followers?page=1", - "id": "https://letsalllovela.in/users/at/followers", - "type": "OrderedCollection" -} -``` - -* Misskey does the same thing as what you described: 403 Forbidden. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -In any case, I don’t think that the spec necessarily intended to have the *sender* dereference follower collections for other actors – rather, that role falls on the *receiver*, and the logic/rationale is as described in the Inbox Forwarding section, “avoiding ghost replies”: - -> When Activities are received in the [inbox](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#inbox), the server needs to forward these to recipients that the origin was unable to deliver them to. To do this, the server *MUST* target and [deliver](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#delivery) to the values of `to`, `cc`, and/or `audience` if and only if all of the following are true: -> -> * This is the first time the server has seen this Activity. -> * The values of `to`, `cc`, and/or `audience` contain a Collection **owned by the server**. -> * The values of `inReplyTo`, `object`, `target` and/or `tag` are objects **owned by the server**. The server *SHOULD* recurse through these values to look for linked objects **owned by the server**, and *SHOULD* set a maximum limit for recursion (ie. the point at which the thread is so deep the recipients followers may not mind if they are no longer getting updates that don’t directly involve the recipient). The server *MUST* **only target the values of `to`, `cc`, and/or `audience` on the original object** being forwarded, and **not pick up any new addressees** whilst recursing through the linked objects (in case these addressees were purposefully amended by or via the client). -> -> The server *MAY* filter its delivery targets according to implementation-specific rules (for example, spam filtering). - -Essentially, inbox forwarding is a failsafe that allows a sender to say “look, here’s the Activity, I don’t know what this collection contains, so you deal with it, since it’s ostensibly under your authority.” This is why the “owned by the server” language is used multiple times in the above quoted section. Replying to, tagging, or performing an activity with the (locally owned) actor should trigger some discovery behavior. I must admit I find this recursive discovery behavior a bit problematic, although it is easier to swallow if you take it to mean “remote server implementations may notify / deliver to local actors that you reply to, tag, or act upon”. Perhaps it makes sense to notify someone if they were tagged or replied to, even if they were not explicitly addressed. Perhaps the implication is that they should be careful while doing so to not expand the scope of delivery. Perhaps the language in this third bullet point is simply bad language or bad guidance. - -With that said, what matters for the purpose of inbox forwarding is that, if you are delivering to someone else’s followers collection, then the sender needs to know how to refer to the `followers` IRI. But `followers` as a property is only a SHOULD and not a MUST. And I guess the “spam filtering” clause above also opens the door to implementations simply choosing *not* to forward to someone else’s followers. (I think Mastodon does indeed filter out activities delivered to someone else’s followers collection, based on a friend’s testing, but I can’t remember for sure.) Anyway, a server that only implements S2S and not C2S might as well leave out the `followers` and `following` entirely, for privacy purposes. I don’t think this would break anything – if it does, that points to bugs in existing implementations. (Okay, it might break sharedInbox.) - -One other tangent about inbox forwarding and addressing in general, that I might follow up on in another topic: I wish implementations would use `audience` more. It should be standard behavior to comment on someone’s post and address them, plus the value of `audience` (plus any other arbitrarily mentioned/added people, plus maybe your own followers). The audience of a post should be used even above `to`/`cc`, because to me `audience` carries human semantics while `to`/`cc`/`bto`/`bcc` are for server communication. For S2S purposes, the server implementation is actually free to deliver several slightly different activities to different inboxes, and in the case of `bto` and `bcc` this differing behavior is actually required. This, combined with the previous paragraph, leads to an issue where one may target their own `followers` collection without actually advertising it as their `followers` collection. I’m not sure what kind of undefined behavior that would lead to… it’s things like this that make me think sharedInbox was a mistake. - ---- - -@macgirvin: - -This whole clause is about “conversational delivery” ; which is completely different from microblog use. We use conversational delivery so I understand it very well. This is the two fediverses problem I speak about quite often. - -I’ll put it in very simple terms. We have the Twitter fediverse and the Facebook fediverse. The protocol supports the Facebook fediverse through inbox forwarding but Twitter-like projects don’t understand it and do things that break the Facebook fediverse. We can get along together but the first step is acknowledging that both models exist and learning how to implement both. The Facebook fediverse is important for things like private groups (ok “restricted”) and circles (restricted collections), so Twitter-like projects can get some benefit from supporting both. - -And we can implement both. In the Facebook fediverse all comments to a restricted (not public) post go back to the sender of the top-level post and to nobody else. The actor that sent the top-level post delivers the comments downstream to all of the original recipients of the top-level post - and to nobody else. If it’s a public conversation commenters can send to whoever they want. This is the secret sauce that makes restricted conversations work. - -In this model the sender of the top-level post is the only delivery authority for the entire threaded conversation. Now realise that this section was added to ActivityPub so that Facebook-like projects such as Friendica, Diaspora, and Hubzilla could exist in an ActivityPub fediverse, but the people writing the spec were nearly all from the Twitter side of the fediverse and to this day the Twitter side doesn’t recognise that the Facebook side exists and has a different addressing/delivery model than they do. - -It seems from your reply that conversational delivery is a bit alien to you as well. No worries. I’ve proposed a mechanism to let everybody know for any given conversation which model to use. It’s pretty simple and uses ‘replyTo’ and works the same as email’s reply-to. If it’s set, that’s who you reply to - and you don’t cc or deliver to anybody else; and you also copy that replyTo to your own comment before sending. If it isn’t set, send your comment to whoever you want. Twitter-like projects will never set it except maybe in circles/aspects or private/restricted groups. Facebook-like projects will probably always set it except maybe in public conversations when their posts benefit from exponentially widening reach. And everybody lives happily ever after in the same fediverse. We support this today. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -Small point of contention: “Twitter fedi” projects like Mastodon implement inbox forwarding, but they don’t make it the main mechanism of delivering replies in the same way that “Facebook fedi” projects expect to redistribute comments. - -I am familiar with that model, and in fact Dennis Schubert proposed it some years back in criticism of the “twitter fedi” approach – [ActivityPub - one protocol to rule them all? - Dennis Schubert ](https://overengineer.dev/blog/2018/02/01/activitypub-one-protocol-to-rule-them-all.html#replies-and-interactions) proposed back in 2018 that “Alice’s host is the one who delivered the shareable, so it feels somewhat natural to also ask Alice’s host to distribute the interactions […] a more sensible, reliable, and even more AcitivityStream’y way of handling replies would probably be adding the interaction to the replies collection and sending an `update`”. Whether the original activity is forwarded or whether an Update is sent doesn’t particularly matter to me, since the model works the same either way – your interaction exists in context of some top-level object. - -In fact, we could be more explicit with this model by using the `context` property (which sadly goes largely unused on “twitter fedi”). If a post has a `context` of another post, it is a comment (Facebook-style). Otherwise, it is just a post (Twitter-style). These (Twitter-style) posts can exist in context of a Collection representing a conversation, or they can exist in a null context. - -> I’ve proposed a mechanism to let everybody know for any given conversation which model to use. It’s pretty simple and uses ‘replyTo’ and works the same as email’s reply-to. If it’s set, that’s who you reply to - and you don’t cc or deliver to anybody else; and you also copy that replyTo to your own comment before sending. If it isn’t set, send your comment to whoever you want. - -Hmm, I guess this makes sense as a mechanism – it’s like a more explicit version of `context`. Prior to this conversation I would have probably proposed something like the following algorithm: - -1. Try to resolve `context` and check for `attributedTo`. -2. Resolve everything in `attributedTo` and deliver to any `inbox` found. -3. If there was no `context.attributedTo` or no actors/inboxes could be found, or if there was no `context`, then deliver your reply to whomever (your followers, as:Public, etc). - -Again, though, I’m not sure if `context.attributedTo.inbox` is the best approach here. At least `replyTo.inbox` saves a lookup step, and allows delivering to different actors, which would allow modeling anonymous objects. - -As far as `context` goes, though, it would probably be a good idea to assign `context` = the top-level post (Facebook-style) or `context` = some Collection representing the conversation or thread, and then copy the `context` as-is when replying/commenting. - -Perhaps an algorithm which supports both `context` and `replyTo` would look like this in pseudocode: - -``` -# Determine to/cc addressing -if "replyTo" in activity: - to = [ - actor["inbox"] - for actor in activity["replyTo"] - if "inbox" in actor - ] - -elif ( -"context" in activity -and "attributedTo" in activity["context"] -): - to = [ - actor["inbox"] - for actor in activity["context"]["attributedTo"] - if "inbox" in actor - ] - -else: - to = ACTOR["followers"] + PUBLIC - -# Copy any values that should be copied -if "replyTo" in activity: - replyTo = activity["replyTo"] -if "context" in activity: - context = activity["context"] -``` - ---- - -@macgirvin: - -We also use context as you’ve described - but recently a number of new projects have started using context for other things than conversation ids. Fetching our context in fact returns a collection of the entire threaded conversation as seen by the root node - which is something I also wish more projects supported. But now that folks are doing other things with context and we also still have folks using them with OStatus semantics (which aren’t de-reference-able) I suppose we’ll eventually have to come up with a different cross-platform way of fetching the entire conversation. Oh well. - -Cheers. - -## current thoughts - -i plan to synthesize several things here -- a collection that could also be an actor, and maybe set as context. see FEP-7888 and a future FEP for that i guess \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/blog.hugo/content/_dump/socialhub-threads/note-vs-article-distinction.md b/blog.hugo/content/_dump/socialhub-threads/note-vs-article-distinction.md deleted file mode 100644 index ea075d0..0000000 --- a/blog.hugo/content/_dump/socialhub-threads/note-vs-article-distinction.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,159 +0,0 @@ -+++ -title = "Resolving the Note vs. Article distinction" -date = "2019-11-01" -+++ - -## preserved text - -

But it could still be beneficial to set a clearer distinction going forward on how these types should be assigned, ideally. - -

    - ---- - -@lanodan: - -The distinction I make between Article and Note isn’t related directly to it’s content but on how it’s supposed to be presented and used, Articles are more things for blogs where you have about a post per day and so articles should be easy to find back with a list of articles/tags and maybe a bit of search features, Notes are more stuff like microblogging where you can easily have hundreds in a day and aren’t that easy to find back even with good keywords in full text search. - -Also I find that formatting is actually very useful for notes because it allows to express more/equivalent with less (like a word-list vs a paragraph). - -This question goes a lot in the fediverse because they are the two mainly used activity types but one could also ask about the actor distinction between Organisation and Group, Application and Service. And so far I’ve only seen ActivityPub Document be used in the wild for Images with textual description (like if Image couldn’t have it in the first place), but Document has no inherent meaning either. - -Note: Pleroma keeps the distinction between Articles and Notes internally, no real differencies for the Mastodon API though but there could be a query filter. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -For prior art, I can think of semantic HTML’s `
    ` being a section of HTML that can be reproduced elsewhere in its entirety. - -W3Schools: "independent, self-contained content. An article should make sense on its own and it should be possible to distribute it independently from the rest of the site." - -MDN: "a self-contained composition in a document, page, application, or site, which is intended to be independently distributable or reusable e.g. in syndication." - -This could be a distinction worth making, maybe? that an Article should roughly map to an `
    `, whereas a Note is just arbitrary text? - ---- - -@nightpool: - -I think using `Article` is a perfectly fine solution for when the desired semantics are “I think it’s better in a short-form microblogging context to display a link to this thing rather then the full content itself”. - -When considering that some clients (especially native clients) often won’t support increasingly rich text formatting, I think using Article vs Note for content where you think plain-text fallback is unacceptable is a totally fine decision to make. (But you shouldn’t ignore the fact that it’s probably likely that people are going to write long-form clients that *do* support Articles but don’t support every possible type of rich text formatting, like the way RSS readers restrict allowed formatting for readability) - ---- - -@trwnh: - -I can’t remember where this was said to me, but I think someone (maybe nightpool?) suggested that Note could be used for message passing a la Discord, which would be a third distinction and perhaps better than length/newlines or plaintext (as explained previously why those are inconsistent). So in that case, we could say Note vs. Article is one of *formality*. IMO this could complement the Article-to-`
    ` suggestion above. - -Taken together: - -* Note = for informal message-passing -* Article = for publication or syndication - -The only thing unresolved with this distinction would be the blurry line that is microblogging. Microblogs are often both informal *and* intended for republishing in feeds. It’d be pretty clear-cut to use Note for a messaging application and Article for a blogging platform, but… perhaps this implies top-level microblogging posts should be an `Article` and replies should be `Note`? Or that they should all be `Article` regardless of the fact that they are informal? There’s still room for discussion there. - ---- - -@darius: - -I think this is right on the money. My main use case for Article is that it’s a way to say that “this is a publication” – I’ve often talked about how this might actually help solve the “quote-tweet” design problem in Mastodon (and presumably other software). If an Article is something that is formal and published then it’s also something that can reasonably be commented upon. Articles can be quoted-commented, and Notes cannot. So I can dunk on a New York Times article, but not on a random thing someone posted as a note. - -Edited to add: for composing posts on a microblogging service, I wonder if a “people can quote-comment on this post” checkbox or whatnot could be, at its most basic, a switch that underneath it all changes type for your post from Note to Article. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -quoting and commenting is kind of out-of-scope and it’s up to each platform to decide how they want to handle it, tbh. from a data view, it doesn’t really matter because you can put whatever you want in `content`, and `inReplyTo` is just metadata (like `tag`).

The server *MUST NOT* add the `actor` to the receiver’s [Following Collection](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#following). - -Note that for S2S purposes, Accept/Reject is only really defined for Follow activities. Per the Activity Vocabulary, it is also implicitly appropriate for `Offer` and `Invite`, but also [Example 10](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-accept) shows a much more ambiguous Accept Person targeting Group, which seems semantically awkward. - -# Possible generalizations - -Currently, the majority of the network uses Accept/Reject only for Follow on an Actor, and thus Accept/Reject is used only in that narrow definition. But there are other Activities that might require these semantics… - -## Accept/Reject Join - -Closed-membership `Group` semantics is maybe the most obvious benefit of generalizing Accept/Reject. It is of course possible to both Follow and Join a Group; Follow Group would semantically translate to being interested in what the Group posts to its outbox, as per the base AP spec. Some softwares handle Group membership based on its `followers`, but this is a bit of a hacky way to do things that is motivated by compatibility with the existing “Follow Actor” network. A much more semantic way to handle things would be to allow Join/Leave Group, but then Join would need Accept/Reject to allow modeling closed groups (at least, in a way different than just using the `Group` `followers` with `manuallyRequiresApproval` + `Announce` any activities received at `inbox` – which is still a valid way of doing things for “mailing list” use cases). This would be clearer than Accepting a Person into a Group. - -## Accept/Reject Create - -When sending a Create to a remote server, there will generally be side effects interpreted by that remote server’s software. One common example is that sending Create Note with `inReplyTo` may attach your Note as a reply to another Note. But this is not guaranteed to happen, e.g. if the remote software has a concept of “disabled comments” or “approved comments”. In that case, the remote software may want to signal that the use of `inReplyTo` will not automatically cause side effects to be processed, in the same way Follow must first be Accepted or Rejected. It might not make sense to explicitly *require* Accept/Reject semantics for such a case (as they are for Follow), but they can still be used for hinting the result. - -## Accept/Reject Update/Add/Remove/Delete - -In cases where an actor is performing actions on an object other than creating it, these actions may require approval from another actor who “owns” or “manages” that object. You may want to Accept an Offer of an Update, but it would be simpler to just Accept the Update. Per the AP spec, the only considerations made are as follows: - -7.3 Update: - -> The receiving server *MUST* take care to be sure that the `Update` is authorized to modify its `object` . At minimum, this may be done by ensuring that the `Update` and its `object` are of same origin. - -7.4 Delete: - -> (assuming the `object` is owned by the sending actor / server) - -7.8 / 7.9, Add/Remove: - -> * the `target` is not owned by the receiving server, and thus they can’t update it. -> * the `object` is not allowed to be added/removed to the `target` collection for some other reason, at the receiver’s discretion. - -So we have some guidance toward the “receiver’s discretion”, but no formal way of signaling that discretion back to the author of the received activity. - -# But why not just use HTTP status codes? - -HTTP status codes are synchronously returned at the time of the request, even if the request is handled asynchronously. You may send out a `202 Accepted` to indicate that the document was successfully received, but later send out a `Reject` Activity after some manual action was taken by an actor. This manual action may be performed long after the initial delivery to the remote server. -[/quote] - -

    - -## Overview - -ActivityPub primarily depends on direct delivery of activities, but many implementations expose old post history via the `outbox`. In theory, you could fetch the outbox to discover old posts that weren’t delivered to you but should still be visible to you (e.g. Public posts that persist in the outbox). However, there is one big problem: pagination. - -Specifically, pagination is an issue because you will have to fetch multiple pages, and you don’t know exactly when to stop, or how to discover gaps. You may be able to fetch up until you see a post that you already have, but there may be other unseen posts beyond that one. The only way to be sure is to fetch every single page of the outbox, which can be a costly operation. - -## Recommendations - -Arguably, this situation can be improved by making some specific recommendations: - -### Construct chronologically, but present in reverse order - -Because an OrderedCollection is mandated to be “reverse chronological” specifically, extra care needs to be taken to allow stable page references. Perhaps pages should be built chronologically and simply presented in reverse order, crucially with the `first` page containing less than than the max page size. - -Example: A page size of 10 and a collection of 23 items should be split into pages of 3, 10, 10. These pages would be presented as such: - -``` -[ -[23 22 21] -[20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11] -[10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1] -] -``` - -### Stable page references should also be reversed - -Furthermore, in order to maintain stable page references, such that if you’ve fetched a page before you don’t have to fetch it again, page counters should be assigned in reverse order as well. - -Taking the example from above, the pages would be identified as 3, 2, 1: - -``` -[ -[23 22 21] // page 3 -[20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11] // page 2 -[10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1] // page 1 -] -``` - -### Deleted items should either be Tombstoned or change the page size - -All this work is useless if the pages have to be recalculated or the items get shifted to a different page. To prevent this, either serve a Tombstone in place of deleted items, or otherwise freeze the upper and lower bound of a page while allowing variable page sizes. - -For example, let’s say we delete post 17. The result might look like this: - -``` -[ -[23 22 21] // page 3 (3 items) -[20 19 18 T 16 15 14 13 12 11] // page 2 (10 items, 1 Tombstone) -[10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1] // page 1 (10 items) -] -``` - -Or, it might look like this: - -``` -[ -[23 22 21] // page 3 (3 items) -[20 19 18 16 15 14 12 11] // page 2 (9 items) -[10 9 8 6 5 4 3 2 1] // page 1 (10 items) -] -``` - -Notice that page 3 remains unchanged, rather than item 21 becoming part of the 2nd page. - -### Accessing pages should be done in a consistent way - -The final piece of the puzzle is a way to consistently load specific pages. For example, consider a collection at `/collection/id`. You might be able to attach a query parameter `?page=N` to access the Nth page via `/collection/id?page=N`. Or you might have some route such as `/collection/id/page/N`. Whatever the case, there should be a way of getting pages that can be expected to work across all implementations. Or, at the very least, a way that may be inferred easily, but a standard pagination technique would be better. - -My thinking is that `/page/N` would be better, because it would allow for static pages as an option more easily, - -Also for consistency: Tombstone is preferable to exclusion, because it allows dynamic page sizing on-the-fly in dynamic servers that use query parameters. - -
    - ---- - -@silverpill: - -Perhaps a timestamp filter could solve this problem? -For example, `/collection/id?after=1667766000` can return a paginated subset of the collection, and if the client knows the time of the last sync, it can retrieve missing objects with fewer requests. -This way implementations can continue to use their preferred pagination mechanism. - ---- - -@trwnh: - -Having a timestamp filter might work for dynamic server implementations but not for static server implementations.

simple: it doesn't solve any needs for building a "network" "protocol". - -now consider S2S. why are there zero compliant impls in fedi? because AP as specified doesn't address the needs of fedi. what does fedi need? well, i find it telling that the "real" reason AP was adopted was... to implement followers-only posts. - -which is to say: the primary reason that #ActivityPub is used (to the extent you can say it is being used at all) in the #fediverse is mostly historical. - -fedi grew out of a long line of open protocols, and before AP was adopted, it was at the point where people primarily used "activity streams" as their vocabulary and data model, stuffed into atom feeds. atom feeds don't do private posts unless you make an entirely new access-controlled feed, possibly with a token of some sort. hence, AS2. - -when #ActivityPub was being standardized alongside AS2 it basically had two compelling reasons for what would become the #fediverse to adopt it: - -- it was built on AS2, which was an evolution of AS1, which was already being used. so it wasn't hard to make the jump. - -- it made followers-only posts possible, because while atom feeds *could* do this, it was wildly inconvenient to actually do it that way. posting something private to an inbox is a lot simpler, no juggling access control tokens. - -but beyond that, what does #ActivityPub actually do for #fediverse as a "network" "protocol"? basically nothing. you have a basic mechanism for delivering activities directly to subscribers, but no specified shape or structure for that payload. and you still need a lot of other specs to end up with something that talks to the "network". even with AS2 vocab, you need more vocab extensions to express things you want to. - -simply put, AP is not enough for a "protocol" to build a "network". - -but before you build a "protocol" for a "network", consider: what even is a "network", in this context? and, here's the hot take: do you even *want* that kind of "network"? do you want a separate reified #fediverse network? - -because the answer that #ActivityPub gives is actually a different one. There is no "AP network", because AP as a protocol is not enough to build a concrete network. it is intended to provide, and exists in context of, the larger #Web. - -this is the fundamental divide between #fediverse thinking and #Web thinking, where #ActivityPub straddles the line between both. - -i've seen it said that the "open-world assumption" at the foundation of the Web is actually an undesirable thing for a "social networking protocol", and as a consequence, specs built on that open-world assumption are "completely unsuitable" for that "protocol". - -but do we need a "social networking protocol"? do we even need "social networks" in the first place? - -to build the #fediverse as its own "social networking protocol" then seemingly requires that we instead go with the closed-world assumption, contrary to the #Web - -it requires ahead-of-time communication and coordination, where implementers need to be willing and available to talk to any other implementer, and this load grows with every new implementer. - -it requires you to be aware of other extensions, present and future, because your extension might conflict with someone else's extension. - -the way extensibility works in a closed-world #fediverse is that "every implementer talks to every other implementer". or maybe there is a central registry of extensions that everyone submits to their authority, as stewards of the "protocol" that is used to build the "network". this trades out the n:n relation between implementers and other implementers, for an n:1 relation between implementers and the central registry. - -the way extensibility works in an open-world #Web is you just do it. - -the challenge in closed-world systems is how to scale communication and coordination as the number of implementers grows. without a central authority, it almost inevitably leads to power coalescing in the hands of the few most popular or largest implementations, who become the "de facto" standard and get to mostly do what they want, and everyone else mostly has to follow if they want to be compatible. - -sound familiar? it should, because this is the model that the #fediverse follows today. - -indeed, the #fediverse is more closed-world than open-world. you see this in the so-called "rejection" of json-ld among presumably the majority of fedi implementations. because for the most part, AS2 lets you ignore json-ld. it only matters for extensibility, and (specific criticisms of json-ld aside) json-ld also mostly allows you to ignore it. - -so why do people still complain about it? - -well, there is the concept of "context" in json-ld, which represents shared understanding. - -when i say "john knows sally", there are several ambiguities. we can solve ambiguities by disambiguating. one way to disambiguate is to be explicit about what any term or symbol means. one way to be explicit is to use uniform identifiers. - -in particular, http/https uris have some convenient properties - -- they have authority, so you can qualify an id based on who's assigning it. -- you can use the authority component as a namespace -- you can fetch the uri and it might return something useful - -so let's say john is example.com/john and sally is example.com/sally - -what do we use for "knows"? - -well, there are multiple senses of the word "knows": - -1) is aware of the existence of -2) is familiar with -3) is having sexual intercourse with - -we mean definition 1. so we might use example.com/vocab/knows/1 - -now we have the statement: - - - -this is unambiguous, but we can go one step further: we can provide definitions at the uri - -say some random person sees the statement above. they don't know who john or sally are, and they don't know what "knows" means in this context. - -well, if we do a little work upfront, they actually *can* know what all of these terms mean, **without ever asking us directly** - -we put a resource on example.com for each of these terms, and each resource describes the subject of that identifier -- it is a "resource descriptor". - -the resource for knows/1 can define itself explicitly with a schema - -so at minimum we have the following schema for knows/1 - -- how to represent it in plain text: "knows" -- how to define it: "is aware of the existence of" - -the RDF Schema gives us `label` and `comment`, as defined by the RDF Schema. - -- :label "knows" -- :comment "is aware of the existence of" - -but we need to know what "label" and "comment" mean as well! not to worry, we qualify those terms with the rdfs namespace: - -- rdfs:label "knows" -- rdfs:comment "is aware of the existence of" - -now at this point you're probably wondering what this has to do with social networking. and on a practical level, if you're just interested in building a "social networking protocol", this is mostly all extraneous. - -the part that implementers have to deal with is the notion of "context" and, more specifically, how json-ld handles it, and even more specifically, what to do when two shorthand terms conflict. - -remember, the open-world solution is namespacing. what does closed-world do? - -well, let's look at `actor`. in AS2 terms it refers to the entity that performed an activity. but in schema.org terms it refers to someone playing a role in a movie or other performance. - -in a closed-world sense, you don't want to be aware of context. you don't want to have to deal with it. but even so, you still have an "implicit context" that you are using, based on how you define each term in your own understanding, what you hardcode into your software. - -what json-ld does, or what it allows you to do, is explicitly declare a `@context` that is equivalent to your "implicit context". - -this works fine if there is only one declaration that is shared exactly between two parties, but it gets complicated when the "implicit context" differs or isn't an exact match. - -this means that there cannot ever be a singular #fediverse network, because the "implicit context" differs between each software project. the only guaranteed overlap is the AS2 one. - -but it's not like AS2 didn't think of this. they wrote in this requirement: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#extensibility - -> Activity Streams 2.0 implementations that wish to fully support extensions MUST support Compact URI expansion as defined by the JSON-LD specification. - -note, you aren't required to implement all of json-ld. you just need to handle the bit where you can identify the equivalence between a uri and some arbitrary string. - -but #fediverse mostly decided this is too hard, and ignore context. - -now there's a few thoughts i have here: - -#fediverse culturally seems to ignore a lot of other things as well. they ignore http caching for example. they ignore http status codes like 301 Permanent Redirect. these requirements are arguably more important than context, and they *still* get ignored. - -in fact, most fedi software is mostly just reimplementing Web browsers, but with what they consider to be the "bare minimum" of compliance. and the web they let you browse is smaller than the Web - -are these things part of the "protocol"? how far does the "protocol" extend to cover? because, as we established, #ActivityPub is not enough to build a fully functional #fediverse -- and a lot of extensions and additional specs are things that ought to be included in this "protocol", insofar as this "protocol" is desirable. - -the other thought: - -if you ignore things, that means there are cases you're not handling, losing out on robustness. ignoring context is to ignore shared understanding. - -so what do you actually lose out on when you ignore json-ld context? - -you first have to fall back to the "implicit context", where AS2 terms are generally agreed upon, but nothing else is guaranteed. - -take something like `discoverable` from mastodon. what does it mean? well, it means whatever is defined in the mastodon codebase and documentation. so we could represent that as `http://joinmastodon.org/ns#discoverable` or shorten that with a prefix. but if we do, then most #fediverse will choke on that. - -this is because #fediverse is ignoring context. the implicit context is that `discoverable` means `http://joinmastodon.org/ns#discoverable` but they don't know that. so they can't actually handle the extension in its fullest form. - -what AS2 calls out as "full support for extensions" requires being able to identify this equivalence and handle it. again, fedi does... let's call it "partial support". - -the "implicit context" is now a hardcoded but unstated requirement of this "protocol". - -which is to say: #fediverse software generally expects LD-aware producers to compact against their own "implicit context", but they don't always define that context. it's left undeclared and undefined. or it actually *is* declared, but if you give them their own expanded form then they'll not understand it. - -it's like someone saying hey, when i say "knows", i mean "is familiar with" - -and then you say "john is familiar with sally" - -and they respond WTF? what does "is familiar with" mean? - -it's like... you literally just told me "knows" = "is familiar with", but because of your own ignoring of your own context, you can't handle me saying "is familiar with"? - -in this way, as long as the #fediverse remains ignorant of context, they will remain fragile and without any sort of robustness in their "protocol". - -the alternative they have is to extend the only context they share, which is the AS2 one. but this doesn't solve the problem. it just officially blesses a single term. - -if you want to turn "activitystreams" into a "protocol" then sure i guess you can do that - -but why? what are the needs we're trying to address here? of what purpose is your "protocol"? social networking? you want a "social networking protocol"? - -before you convince people that a "social networking protocol" is necessary, you have to convince people that a "social network" is necessary. - -but more importantly, you are contrasting that "social networking protocol" against the "social Web". - -it is my personal belief that this whole "closed-world social network" vs "open-world social Web" thing is leading to a big disconnect that makes addressing people's needs harder. - -because, to be on the "network", you neglect being on the "Web". - -sure, your software might still publish your "posts" as Web resources, but that's it. you're not actually granted control or ability to manage Web resources for yourself. - -and that's why #ActivityPub C2S is being neglected, among many other things - -i am personally more in favor of a "social Web" than a "social network". - -what i want to do is make it easier for anyone to make a website, and to manage that website. - -i want those websites to be able to link to each other in well-defined and clearly-understood ways. - -i want to make friends and express myself to the fullest, in varying contexts on various websites, without context collapse. - -but it feels like #fediverse is more interested in replicating the "social network" paradigm. -

it's debatable whether you would want to see ALL of the posts in the convo, or just the ones with your friends. could lead to abrupt disappearance of convos from your timeline. - -twitter's behavior is to show you the conversation if you follow the poster + the *first* mention. the assumption is that the post is targeted primarily at the first person mentioned. this may or may not be actually true, though. for completeness, it's assumed to be true. - -the only possible extension is to show ANY post from people you follow that mention ANYONE you also follow, which balloons pretty fast. - -i don't really have any thoughts about private accounts, because this isn't really an issue on mastodon. mastodon's idea of a locked account revolves around approving followers, but locked users can still post publicly. it's just impossible to see their followers-only toots without them approving you. so, post-level privacy sidesteps this issue; private accounts can still post publicly. much better than twitter's all-or-nothing approach. - -### private posts on mastodon - -> where private post issues arise is like: -A posts privately, B replies, C replies to B -> -> I follow B and C so I see C's reply to B in my timeline, despite not being able to see the original context AT ALL because it's private - -so does C follow A? I would say that ideally, if the original post is privated to A-followers, then all replies are also privated to A-followers. I'm not entirely sure if this is indeed the case; I assume not, since you're asking about it. - -It seems easier to handle this for post-comment systems rather than post-reply systems, though the distinction between the two is rather arbitrary. Privacy in the first is encompassing; the second cascades. - -Due to specifics of how post-reply systems are implemented differently than post-comment systems (namely, in treating follow-ups as linked nodes rather than as children), I don't really know how best to propagate privacy attributes. It seems a bit strange, protocol-wise, to say that D's reply to C should be limited to A's followers. Perhaps this meshes back with the "multiple reply" issue above. - -So I guess the two-birds-one-stone solution is to only show you toots where you follow EVERYONE mentioned. But this has downsides, again as mentioned above... it stifles expansion of social circles. You'd have to go to someone's profile to see all their toots. - -Tweetdeck, before being bought out, used to have an option to show ALL replies from people you followed.

    And from an activist perspective, I’d be very loud about starting to investigate other protocols – and why you’re doing it.

    -
    - -If anything, the recent developments have definitely gotten me to more seriously revisit some ideas I had a few years back about a multi-protocol approach[^multi-proto-approach] and how best to synthesize several different protocols that have similar or different approaches to certain things. The main thing I'm trying to formulate right now is a generic understanding of what is a protocol and what makes up a protocol. To give an example limited to just 3 "protocols" that mostly work off of from/to semantics, we can look at SMTP, XMPP, and ActivityPub. - -- Data format: SMTP is more or less plaintext, XMPP is XML, and ActivityPub is JSON. -- Message payload format: SMTP uses RFC 822 messages, XMPP uses stanzas, and ActivityPub uses AS2 Activities. -- Message semantics: SMTP messages have headers and body content. XMPP stanzas can be message, presence, or information query. ActivityPub activities... are activities. That's it. - -So before you even get to the part where you can do anything interesting, you find that ActivityPub is really not much of a protocol. All three of these protocols let you "send and receive", but there's more to communication than just sending and receiving. So, given that, what does ActivityPub *actually* provide? - -The best I can describe it right now, ActivityPub provides the following "protocols" layered on top of LDN: - -- A protocol for "following". You send a `Follow`, it can trigger an `Accept` or `Reject`, you can `Undo` it later, and there are side effects of being added to `followers`/`following`. -- A protocol for "liking". You send a `Like`, there are side effects of being added to the `likes` collection. -- A protocol for "(re)sharing". You send an `Announce`, there are side effects of being added to the `shares` collection. - -Everything else is far too undefined or under-defined to constitute much of a "protocol". Things like Create have "surprisingly few side effects" according to the ActivityPub TR, because they were intended for the C2S API to be able to do basic CRUD and Collection management. But in the fediverse, Create actually has a lot more to it! So if we were to define a basic "social media post" application protocol for the lowest common denominator of most of the current fediverse, then we need to define more than what the ActivityPub spec concerns itself with, just to get to "hello world" levels of functionality. We need to explicitly define the following additional things to get from "AP Create notification" to "social media post" in its most limited form: - -- You send a `Create` where the `object` is a `Note`. - - The object MUST have `content` whose value is a string. - - The content MUST conform to some sanitized subset of HTML. - - The object MUST have a `published` whose value is a string containing a timestamp. - - The object MUST have an `attributedTo` whose value is exactly one actor. - - The actor MUST be of type `Person`. - - The actor MUST have a `name` whose value is a string. - - The name MUST be plain text, and will be interpreted as plain text. - - The actor MUST have an `icon` whose value is the URL to a 1:1 image file. - - The actor MUST have a `preferredUsername` whose value is a string. - - The username MUST be unique on the domain. - - The username MUST link back to the actor when querying that actor's domain's WebFinger endpoint for an `acct:` URI formed of the username and the domain. - - The object MUST have `to` or `cc` or both, whose value is an array which contains at least `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public`. - -Now, I'm simplifying a bit, so the above has the following caveats: - -- Requirements can be relaxed or willfully violated as various needs arise. For example, if an actor is missing an `icon`, the protocol can be modified such that a "default avatar" is assumed instead. -- Requirements can also be added or extended as the protocol matures and develops. For example, support for `inReplyTo`, `attachment`, `tag` can be added over time. -- Protocols may require other protocols or specifications. For example, WebFinger in the above "social media post" protocol. -- Additional protocols would be need to be defined for each use case. For example, a similar protocol for "making a blog post" could be defined using `Create Article`. -- Specifications ideally ought to be followed, but ultimately the real protocol is what implementers end up doing, and the above protocol codifies some mistakes and errors into itself. For example, hard assumptions of actor and object types, hard requirements on the maximum cardinality of properties like `attributedTo`, soft requirements for specifically `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public` instead of `as:Public`. (All of these things represent real incorrect assumptions by real implementers.) - -When you put it like this, it becomes clear that if the fediverse wants to continue to make use of ActivityPub, then there are a *lot* of things that need to be explicitly defined as protocols layered[^protocol-layering] on top of ActivityPub. The "implicit protocol of the fediverse" is not sufficiently described by "the ActivityPub specification". We need to standardize and align on common patterns and common protocols for those patterns. - -And the challenge here, the issue is, that if we don't do this work at a grassroots level, then Meta will do it for us. (Can you imagine a "developer portal" for "interoperating with Threads"?) Things like the FEP process allow writing up these "micro-protocols", and then after that, the difficult task of cat-herding begins, as you need to get implementers onboard with adhering to these specifications. And of course, we're all mostly doing this in our free time and without access to the resources that larger organizations have or can gain access to. So it's going to be an uphill battle. But whichever "protocol building blocks" we can agree and align upon, let's go for it. - -[^multi-proto-approach]: I was specifically looking at a "unified communication" project, which mapped abstract forms of communication like "messaging", "publishing", "discussing", "reading" onto existing protocols like SMTP, XMPP, ActivityPub, IRC, RSS, ATOM, HTTP. There's a risk of ending up with something like Pidgin here, but maybe that's not the worst thing. -[^protocol-layering]: And of course, other protocols and other layerings are possible. Libervia (formerly Salut a Toi) does AS2 with PubSub over XMPP, but offers an "ActivityPub gateway". You could, if you wanted to, send AS2 over an SMTP transport. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/blog.hugo/content/blog/multiple-accounts/index.md b/blog.hugo/content/blog/multiple-accounts/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index afaaaa0..0000000 --- a/blog.hugo/content/blog/multiple-accounts/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,26 +0,0 @@ -+++ -title = "multiple accounts" -summary = "why/when do people use multiple accounts, and what features can be implemented to reduce the friction in using just one account?" -date = "2017-12-17T03:55:00-06:00" -source = "https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/99189033326279405" -+++ - -unrelated thought: been trying to hash out a solution to the "multiple accounts" issue with social media. namely: why/when do people use multiple accounts, and what features can be implemented to reduce the friction in using just one account? would appreciate feedback. - -off the top of my head: - -- private vs public accounts for trusted people (answered by privacy options on toots) -- multiple interests (not really solved currently; perhaps implementing a tag system and letting people mute certain tags?

And the factors are mostly not technological — the technology continues to improve, of course. It's the corporate decisions that go into the making of the phones, which are based not on what makes a “better” phone, but on what they think will be most profitable. I want to call out a few specific quotes from this article and add my thoughts: - -> we've witnessed a consolidation of the phones themselves into ever-more similar permutations. And that's because we've largely solved the problems the early smartphone presented us [...] That is to say, our smartphones basically do all the stuff we want them to. And therein lies the rub: we're running out of meaningful problems for the phone to solve and, equally, out of meaningful flaws to correct in the phones themselves. Smartphones have matured enough as a product category and become so standardized that essentially all we're left with is optimization. - -One negative side-effect of this consolidation is that we've implicitly narrowed the scope of what we consider to be a “problem”. For all the early problems that are no longer problems, we didn't bother solving all of them — and some new problems were created and ignored. There are a lot of assumptions being made that simply aren't 100% true. If you look at the modern smartphone market, the overwhelming assumption is that everyone wants big phones and non-removable batteries. Trends like removing headphone jacks and adding notches spread throughout the industry, because making a good phone isn't enough anymore — the new stuff has to be “innovative” even in a sector where there isn't much more innovation to be had. The end result is that phones actually aren't as good as they could be for everyone. The worst assumption of them all is that every single potential user has exactly the same desires and same tastes, with minimal or negligible differences. - -> phones are becoming appliances [...] we all know what we want to do with our phones, it's just a question of which one best fulfills our needs. [...] phones break, they get outdated (a problem no company is keen to solve!), and they don't last forever on a charge. But solving these “problems” seems, if I'm to draw an analogy, is like trying to develop a car tire that never needs to be replaced. No one wants to, and even if they did, most of the potential solutions are probably unworkable. So, much like that tire, the smartphone has been relegated to annual, incremental improvements. It lasts longer, goes faster, and works better. - -You touch upon this here: companies are not keen to solve these problems because it would advantage the disparate users and disadvantage the company's profits. If the question is about which phone fulfills your needs, then companies are assuming those needs are basically the same, for billions of people, which simply isn't true. And if we were to properly examine the analogy of the car tire, then we can consider nonremovable batteries as nonremovable tires. Yes, we can develop tires or batteries that last longer — but they will eventually wear out. Imagine having to buy an entirely new car just because one tire's treads are worn out. Oh, and of course, the cars are all the same style — every single car is an SUV, no sedans; just like today's average phones have made the term “phablet” practically obsolete. All the cars are the same color and the same trim — black or white, maybe grey, and the interiors are all leather despite the fact that many users prefer cloth. - -> It's easy to understand why that sounds dull: because unless you're an engineer, it really is. Your phone five years from now will be a better version of what you have today. Cars have four wheels, smartphones have a touchscreen [...] Even as companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars work tirelessly to implement new technologies and make them better, what we have right now is basically really good, and it would be silly to change what's been an excellent product formula simply for the sake of doing so. Unfortunately, that means your next phone will probably be a lot like your current one, and so will the one after that, and probably the one after that, too. It's not exactly exciting, but no one said phones had to be. - -It's ironic that phones aren't exciting anymore (even to engineers, I'd daresay) — the marketing around each phone practically demands advertising every single phone as an exciting new product. And the product formula, as refined as it may be by now, is getting stale. But my biggest worry is that this formula is too restrictive; it's one thing to say that cars have four wheels and smartphones have touchscreens, but the current paradigms are far more specific than that. Smartphones aren't just touchscreens — they're massive slabs, with more and more glass, and no way to service them. Straying from this paradigm can't be done effectively, because the profitability margins have been squeezed thinner and thinner by the juggernauts leading the pack. - -My next phone might not be anything like my current phone, because phones like my current phone might very well cease to exist. I'm already using a phone from 2016, with legitimately ZERO similar options out of the 2017/2018 offerings. And the phone from 2016 was already a compromise, that I purchased in 2018. And without an easily-replaceable battery, I can't keep using this phone for more than another year or so, because the battery will inevitably degrade. To me, this is beyond unexciting — this is legitimately revolting. diff --git a/profile.test.hugo/content/comments/status-as-a-service/index.md b/profile.test.hugo/content/comments/status-as-a-service/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 251daa6..0000000 --- a/profile.test.hugo/content/comments/status-as-a-service/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,18 +0,0 @@ -+++ -inReplyTo = "https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2019/2/19/status-as-a-service" -original = "https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2019/2/19/status-as-a-service#comment-5c823ae54e17b6230bbb5137" -date = 2019-03-08T09:50:29Z -title = "in response to \"Status as a Service (StaaS)\" from Eugene Wei" -tags = ["capitalism", "social", "capital", "mastodon", "utility", "analysis"] -indieweb_type = "reply" -+++ - -Hmm. I must preface this comment by saying that I read this article as a Mastodon user, due to your brief mention of Mastodon within the article. But after having read the article, I would in particular make the distinction that there is less of a focus on copying the status game, and more of a focus on utility. Which is to say, I have made the observation that most people coming to Mastodon seeking an alternative to Twitter have generally followed one of two patterns: - -1) They find that the status game on Mastodon is lacking, or rather, intentionally de-emphasized by comparison, and so they go back to Twitter where they can proclaim to their followers that Mastodon sucks. - -2) They came to Mastodon seeking utility and an escape from the pervasive status game of Twitter, and thus they come to appreciate the fact that there are no ads, that timelines are chronological, that actual human moderators exist to deal with trolls and abusers, etc. - -Which isn't to say that Mastodon is in itself immune to social capital, but rather, that an emphasis on utility is to be expected or even necessary, if a network is to survive. Of course, there's the advantage that Mastodon's network is actually a network of networks similar to email, and so Mastodon's success or failure is instead bound to how well it allows its users to access that existing network. - -For a network that, for the past decade, has largely been against capital itself (including social capital), perhaps the main takeaway is that we should be building sustainable utility-driven solutions in order to counteract the necessity of relying on social capital. diff --git a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md b/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index dd63b60..0000000 --- a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/100040916509633482/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,11 +0,0 @@ -+++ -indieweb_type = "note" -tags = [] -date = "2018-05-16T20:40:00Z" -attachment = [] -original = "https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/100040916509633482" -+++ - -I like Mastodon but I'm scared it might become a de facto standard, basically the IE6 of the fediverse. there's plenty of opportunities to learn from the "mistakes" of Mastodon but the longer it remains the only usable experience, the more entrenched it becomes and the more all new projects will have to make concessions to maintain compatibility. - -if i ever did go ahead with making my own alternative to mastodon, then i think i'd focus on making it MUCH easier to run and manage... but i'm all talk tho. i haven't got the time or energy to do it or to teach myself enough to be able to pursue it. :/ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/image.png b/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/image.png deleted file mode 100644 index 7a53309..0000000 Binary files a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/image.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md b/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 967cf4a..0000000 --- a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/108588546793521204/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,7 +0,0 @@ -+++ -indieweb_type = "note" -tags = [] -date = "2022-07-04T05:15:00Z" -attachment = ["image.png"] -+++ -is this anything \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md b/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 4e5d110..0000000 --- a/profile.test.hugo/content/notes/99865201213509948/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,8 +0,0 @@ -+++ -indieweb_type = "note" -tags = ["boktai"] -date = "2018-04-15T19:54:00Z" -attachment = [] -original = "https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/99865201213509948" -+++ -i'm so emo that boktai 3 never launched outside of japan and also that boktai as a series is super dead and konami will never continue it and kojima probably can't/won't either due to copyright and the fact that it's been over 10 years since boktai ds and also kojima doesn't work for konami anymore UGH. where do you go to find quirky existentialist video games based on norse mythology and spaghetti westerns in the year of your lord 2018, you ask?

I really don’t think we’re at any sort of broad alignment, even within the ActivityPub space alone. Just about the only thing we universally do is POST to inbox. That payload is AS2 Activities. Things tighten up a bit when you consider e.g. the "Mastodon Protocol" as defined by https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub but even then, not everyone follows this protocol, and as a protocol, it’s got a lot of missing bits that are very important for a "social networking protocol" to have, not to mention it doesn’t closely follow the requirements laid out in AP or AS2. The main criticism that several people have raised (@hrefna @stevebate and @jenniferplusplus in particular) is that any interop we have on the fediverse today is more the result of the blood, sweat, and tears of implementers than it is the “open standard” that pretty much no one implements to the letter. The far more common outcome is to reverse-engineer Mastodon, or reverse-engineer Lemmy, with the aid of their documentation, with lots of hours spent looking at the code, and with outreach and collaboration involving other implementers. @@ -29,12 +29,8 @@ So, given all this, I have to ask: what are we targeting here? What are we tryin To bring up the perennial example of a chess extension to ActivityPub, you could imagine implementing a "chess protocol" that works client-to-client. You could even declare support for this protocol somehow, probably at an actor level you could indicate which clients are connected to your actor, but I'm getting ahead of myself here. The point is that just like we could have a "chess protocol", we similarly could define a "social media post" protocol, which isn't currently defined. Such a "protocol" would include things like interpreting a Create Note as a "status", and it would include which properties are required or recommended or optional, and it would include guidance on how to interpret those properties and how to render them to the user, but also very importantly it would include a description of the side effects that you can expect that client to perform. Using Mastodon as an example, one of the side effects of receiving a Create Note currently is that the "status" it gets transformed into will be stored indefinitely in the local database, irrespective of HTTP caching headers. The "protocol" would ideally also define how the "status" should be deleted, and when, under which circumstances. For example, sending a Delete of your own actor is not defined anywhere as deleting your "statuses" as well. And I don't think this belongs in the ActivityPub spec necessarily, because it's just as valid to say that all activities delivered by the actor prior to its own deletion are notification messages that could be stored indefinitely or externally in your on-disk cache (barring the presence of HTTP caching headers which would cause them to be expired from cache). Perhaps if that "social media protocol" actually existed in explicit, unambiguous, documented form, then it would be possible to target it with backward-compatible extensions. But we don't have any such thing today. The closest thing we have to that is https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub which is itself an incomplete description. -{{< mf2/h-cite -post-url = "https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/socialwebfoundation-what-do-people-think/4564/36" -author = "socialhub.activitypub.rocks/eprodrom" ->}} -But protocols are about interoperability, and having incompatible protocols reduces interoperability.

-## business logic - -if you receive an Accept/Reject Follow, check ONLY for the following: - -- actor -- type == Accept/Reject -- object.actor == (you) -- object.type == Follow -- object.object == actor -

-we can also map some arbitrary string ("term") to the base iri. the activitystreams context by default uses `as` => `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#`. so instead of typing out the base iri every single time, we can instead type the *shorthand* prefix `as:`, or in other words, `as:actor` or `as:Public`, to get what is known as a "compact IRI" - -note once again the equivalencies: - -- `actor` == `as:actor` == `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#actor` -- `Public` == `as:Public` == `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public` -- ...and so on -

-### expansion - -expansion works by taking the context and expanding every single term to its full iri form, and every single value into an array of objects with either a single @value (if the value before was a literal) or a single @id (if the value before was an iri) - -so if we expand the example document, we get this: - -```json -[ - { - "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#content": [ - { - "@value": "#HelloWorld :blobcatHug:" - } - ], - "@id": "https://social.example/~alice/notes/1", -

] - } -] -``` - -the point of expansion is to end up with a document that is **completely unambiguous** and doesn't need a @context -- see how everything is expressed purely in terms of keywords, literals, and iris? no shorthands are used, so you know exactly what each term represents. - -note that some nodes have an `@id` and some have a `@value`. if you see a value then that is just a raw value (often just a string, but could be a boolean or a number). if you see an id then that is a link to some other document or resource. - -### compaction - -compaction is similar to expansion but it keeps values collapsed. so again, you end up with full iris, but you don't have to deal with keywords everywhere other than @id (which sticks around bc any iri represents a node and not just a value) - -note that you can compact against a blank @context or supply your own @context. - -if you compact against a blank @context, you'll get everything as a full iri: - -```json -{ - "@id": "https://social.example/~alice/notes/1", -

}, - "name": "blobcatHug" - } - ] -} -``` - -note that this basically matches the input, **except** because we didn't compact against the extension vocab terms, we have a few namespaced terms to grapple with: - -- `as:Hashtag` is left in there because it's not actually part of the activitystreams namespace. it was a proposed extension, but the context document was never updated to include it. this is why pretty much all existing impls currently include it as an extension term in their supplied @context. - - note the `as:` namespace was maintained here because `as:` is defined within the activitystreams context document as a convenient shorthand for `https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#` as discussed in [above sections](#namespacing) -- `https://joinmastodon.org/ns#Emoji` was left completely uncompacted because we didn't pass in the joinmastodon namespace at all when compacting -- note that `as:id` is just an alias for json-ld's @id keyword, and `as:type` is likewise just an alias for json-ld's @type keyword - -in summary, compaction is good for **simplifying the document based on what you know** -- worst case scenario, you have no @context and you can just parse for full iris (in a manner somewhat more efficient than parsing the expanded form). best case scenario, you have a @context that lets you parse for shorthand terms of your own choosing, and everything else is shortened only as much as possible (so you can generally ignore anything you don't understand, right?) -

-the idea is that you can **parse the @graph and then filter that list by @id to obtain any relevant node** -- no worrying about nesting or otherwise having to deal with structure. for example, we receive `https://social.example/~alice/notes/1` and flatten it against our @context to get a list of nodes, which we filter for the given @id `https://social.example/~alice/notes/1`, and we can see that this node refers to `_:b0` and `_:b1` within the tag property - -## conclusion - -that's pretty much it tbh - -NOTE: activitystreams-core requires that for any serialized as2 document, - -- you MUST compact against the activitystreams @context -- you MAY compact against additional contexts -- you MUST NOT override the activitystreams context - -additionally if you encounter a document with `application/activity+json` mime-type then you MUST assume the activitystreams context if it is missing - -## further reading - -[JSON-LD 1.1 -- § 3.2 IRIs](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#iris) - -> An IRI is defined in [RFC3987] as containing a scheme along with path and optional query and fragment segments. A relative IRI reference is an IRI that is relative to some other IRI. In JSON-LD, with exceptions that are as described below, all relative IRI references are resolved relative to the base IRI. - -> While it is a good practice for resource identifiers to be dereferenceable, sometimes this is not practical. In particular, note the [URN] scheme for Uniform Resource Names, such as UUID. An example UUID is urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6. - -[JSON-LD 1.1 -- § 3.1 The Context](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#the-context) - -> Simply speaking, a context is used to map terms to IRIs. Terms are case sensitive and most valid strings that are not reserved JSON-LD keywords can be used as a term. Exceptions are the empty string "" and strings that have the form of a keyword (i.e., starting with "@" - -> Contexts can either be directly embedded into the document (an embedded context) or be referenced using a URL. Assuming the context document in the previous example can be retrieved at https://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld, it can be referenced by adding a single line and allows a JSON-LD document to be expressed much more concisely - -[JSON-LD 1.1 -- § 5.1 Expanded Document Form](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#expanded-document-form) - -> Expansion is the process of taking a JSON-LD document and applying a context such that all IRIs, types, and values are expanded so that the @context is no longer necessary. - -[JSON-LD 1.1 -- § 5.2 Compacted Document Form](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#compacted-document-form) - -> Compaction is the process of applying a developer-supplied context to shorten IRIs to terms or compact IRIs and JSON-LD values expressed in expanded form to simple values such as strings or numbers. Often this makes it simpler to work with document as the data is expressed in application-specific terms. Compacted documents are also typically easier to read for humans. - -> The purpose of compaction is to apply the term definitions, vocabulary mapping, default language, and base IRI to an existing JSON-LD document to cause it to be represented in a form that is tailored to the use of the JSON-LD document directly as JSON. - -[JSON-LD 1.1 -- § 5.3 Flattened Document Form](https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#flattened-document-form) - -> Flattening collects all properties of a node in a single map and labels all blank nodes with blank node identifiers.

Delivery according to AP aside: When should a producer use to/cc/audience? What should a consumer do with to/cc/audience? - -The only wording used, normatively or not, is that: - -- [normative] the primary audience (`to`) is "directly involved" -- [non-normative] an object using `audience` is "scoped to a particular audience" - -Per Evan: [Audience is not for addressing; it's for defining the people it might be interesting to [...] The fact that it's called out in AP is a bug](https://github.com/evanp/onepage.pub/issues/91#issuecomment-1656844202). - -### My thoughts - -None of the wording above is clear or precise enough to establish a distinction, nor is there any practical difference between using to/cc/audience aside from implementation-specific rules and heuristics, such as: - -- Mastodon treating `cc: [Public, ...]` as "unlisted", a visibility scope which excludes the post from public timelines (which is itself a mastodon-specific UX abstraction). -- Many implementations ignoring `audience` entirely. - -For a compliant Server implementing C2S, there is no issue in delivering activities where the activity or the object contains an `audience`, although producing Clients should be aware that this will likely not be understood widely by consumers which generally expect only to/cc. - -#### Idea: Use `audience` to signal who can fetch an object via cross-domain authentication/authorization? - -Based on the (non-normative) wording for `audience` as being "scoped to a particular audience", we may interpret this as deciding who can fetch an object, even if it was not delivered to them with to/cc/bto/bcc? - -#### Idea: Use `to`/`cc` on activities, and `audience` on objects? - -Maybe prefer `to`/`cc` on activities since this will be used for delivery, and `audience` on the object? Caveats: the activity may need to be fetchable; the object may benefit from having primary/secondary audiences; - -#### Idea: Use `to` to signal intent to generate a notification, `cc` or `audience` to signal intent to not generate a notification? - -It is possible to notify someone differently based on whether they were in the primary or secondary audience. Primary audience may be interpreted as intent to generate a notification, whereas secondary audience may be interpreted as purely intent to deliver. - -#### Idea: AP Errata to remove requirement to deliver to `audience` - -This would drop `audience` to being optional metadata like `tag` or `inReplyTo`, and further enshrine only to/cc/bto/bcc as valid addressing properties.

Current fediverse projects often include a `Hashtag` (defined as an extension within the ActivityStreams namespace, but not actually adopted or defined formally). This `Hashtag` signals an intent to be included or discovered through a collection of objects bearing the same `Hashtag`, uniquely identified by its `name`.

For example, if we had the notion of a conversation, then we might reasonably say that someone owns this conversation and can apply their authority to it. Looking at some object or activity within this context is generally not recommended on its own; it is better to view the entire conversation or some page of it rather than viewing a singular message. - -The context may be presented using the following abstractions: - -- A "topic" in a forum presentation -- A "conversation" in a social networking presentation -- A "room" in a chatting or messaging presentation -- A "thread" in any of the above contexts (forum thread, social media thread, chat thread) - -Contexts may be nested within other contexts: - -- A forum topic/thread may be nested in a "forum" or "forum category", and may be nested in another parent forum as a sub-forum. -- A "wall" on a profile or group may contain conversations, which in turn may contain the top-level object and its comments -- A "guild" or "space" may contain multiple chat rooms with a common audience - -It is also possible to *not* have a context. Such objects exist only in the general context of their author (via `attributedTo`) and are otherwise self-sufficient. This can include: - -- An article published on a web site, particularly one meant to be accessible directly via a permalink - - A post in a blogging or microblogging environment, particularly one that does not represent a conversation, or where `inReplyTo` is meant only as a loose reference. -- An activity intended for or acting upon an object without a context - -## normative language - -The use of `context` SHOULD adhere to the following guidelines: - -- The `context` SHOULD have a purpose.

The only explicitly idempotent bit is the side effect of adding the object to an unordered Collection, which is technically a set and therefore theoretically can’t contain duplicates. A more “common usage” interpretation would hold that follows and likes should be idempotent, but there’s nothing actually establishing this one way or the other. The most naive implementation of, say, C2S or S2S Like, is to handle each Like separately if each activity uses a different id. It then follows that you could post 10 likes of the same object and subsequently undo 3 of those specific activities. And for what it’s worth, adding each activity to either a Collection or an OrderedCollection will not be deduplicated, because each of those activities has a different id.
