@Jupiter Rowland The differences between interfaces definitely causes a lot of misunderstandings, especially when someone assumes the other person is using the same platform. That is why I like how Friendica implemented their post interface. On every post or comment, the logo of the platform they are using is shown on their posts so you know if they are using Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, or whatever.

And there are situations where the context will NOT be a collection. For example, for a project management system, the context may be a specific task, but multiple threads (conversations) are related to that task. There is no collection to serve, since each thread has their own collection, and may even be on different servers.This is why I advocate for a thread field that indicates the thread, if it has one. There are other use cases for context.

@infinite love ⴳ The projects and tasks would have its own API or protocol for syncing and sharing. I am not referring to that.I am talking about when a AS2 Note or AS2 Article is associated with a Task or Project. Server A might want to notify Server B of that association over ActivityPub, because AS2 Notes and AS2 Articles will be delivered over ActivityPub, not the Project API/protocol.The user interface could then link to the related project or task.

@infinite love ⴳ That is doable. But the naming convention is a bit wonky.You use context for collections. You use tags for context. You use summary for content warnings. You don't want to use the term threads to describe threads because you want it to be a collection, which you call a context. So there is no way to specify the top level post without creating a collection. It would be nice if the names reflected what the field is actually used for.

What do we use for hashtags, since tags is used for "related to." LOLThis is so funny. LOL. One misnomer after another. HahaI needed a laugh.But seriously, where to hashtags go? LOLEdit: To be clear, I am laughing at the absurdly of life, and not any particular person. Life doesn't always match your expectations, and sometimes you have to laugh about it.

It appears that NodeBB is not accepting edits of posts.

@julian I am not sure how to do that. Is there an ActivityPub testing software I could use to see what is delivered over the wire? Also, it used to work, but that after you made some changes to NodeBB and Hubzilla adopted Conversations Containers, it stopped working.And I also overheard a Git issue conversation with (streams) and Mitra talking about how Conversation Container's use of context is not the same as defined in FEP-7888, which may cause incompatibility issues. If I remember right, they were saying the FEP-7888 expects a collection of notes, and (streams) and presumably Hubzilla send a collection of activities.

@silverpill @Pawslut420 The most malicious quote posts are usually screenshots. They know that after the ruckus, the tweet would be deleted, so they screenshot it. And they purposefully post it on other platforms so that it is spread widely and less likely to be rebutted. This new system that Mastodon is building would not stop this type of attack.

Quick question. Is the problem that it was quoted or is the problem that it was attributed to someone? For example, if someone says something controversial or misinformed and someone quotes it, does it matter if it's attributed to someone or not? You can't harass the person who wrote it if you don't know who wrote it.In some cases it may be useful to remove the attribution but not the quote. Because removing the quote deletes vital information from the conversation. If the goal is to reduce harassment, then removing the attribution but not the quote may be a good compromise.Otherwise people will purposely quote someone in a way that the quote can't be deleted to avoid it's deletion.

@silverpill What if the author of the post could turn off attribution?

@Pawslut420 And there is also some cultural differences. Now that we have microblogging and forums interacting with each other, we will start seeing a culture clash. Forums generally use quotes to keep people accountable for what they say, whereas microblogging platforms are hesitant to implement quoting because it can lead to harassment.The difference probably lies with the fact that forums tend to have an additional layer of moderation, and have threaded conversations where the conversation owner can delete posts within the thread. It is easier to moderate a forum than it is a microblogging platform because of these additional tools.

@Pawslut420 What I meant about multiple levels of moderation is the fact that on platforms that support threaded conversations, in addition to the administrators who can delete posts and block people, and users who can block users, you also have the conversation owner who can remove posts within the thread. On Mastodon, there are no threads and no conversation owners. So forums and Facebook-style platforms have an additional moderation tool, removing posts from a thread.

@Pawslut420 On forums the conversation owner is the owner of the forum. Some platforms like Hubzilla allow users to create their own forums. So a forum owner might be different than the administrator of the server. On Facebook style platforms, the conversation owner is the owner of the channel or the account holder. The conversation owner can delete comments on posts they own.

@Pawslut420 What the heck does that video have to do with the rest of your post. I just watched it for the first time. If anyone from the Secret Service is listening, I do not condone anything in that video.

@sky-rider of the spaceways But there is also something to be said about the server administrator's right to kick people off their server. Most servers have some sort of community rules. If someone doesn't like the community rules, they can set up their own fediverse server themselves and abide by their own rules.

Couldn't following or unfollowing a thread be handled internally on the server? Or is it your intent to be able to follow a thread without following someone in the thread?For example, in Hubzilla, I can follow and unfollow threads. This does not affect whether I follow specific actors though. It only affects whether I get notified of any new posts or likes on that thread.

@silverpillDo you think this scenario is realistic? Actors under a single DID authority are likely to be tightly coupled to each other, as their activities need to be signed by the same key.So, is this grouping actors by keys? Does that mean actors won't have their own unique keys?

@Sean Tilley It would be interesting if the concepts of Nostr's free-floating, peer-to-peer identities were combined with nomadic identity (on Nomad/Zot and ActivityPub protocols). In theory, a nomadic identity could be used for communication by a client, rather than a server. As long as the user has the proper keys, their messages are authenticated as being from them.Also, in theory, you can have a Nostr ID being managed by a server instead of a client, and the server acts as a relay. It really comes down to who is the custodian of the keys.

Writing a timeline and history of a 15 year old software project took a bit more work that I thought it would. Thank goodness that git remembers everything, and people documented what happened along the way. #^https://hubzilla.org/page/info/timeline

@silverpill I saw your name on the git log as well, so I thought you worked on it too. I can change it to just FenTiger. :)By the way, if you think we are missing any FEPs or other milestones, let me know. I noticed that there were other FEPs related to Conversation Containers and Hubzilla, but I was not sure which ones were relevant.
