what this affects
whenever you embed a Follow, Block, Like, or some other activity where the original id isn't easily on hand, you can embed it as the object without an id. in such a case, the shape of the activity becomes semantically significant.
for example, say you want to remove a follower. you typically do this with Reject Follow. but what do you do if you never stored the original Follow id? you embed it like so
id: <some-activity>
actor: <you>
type: Reject
object:
- type: Follow # this has no id
object: <someone>
now ideally you probably should be storing the ids for everything... but eh, what can ya do.
