If 12 people upvote something I posted or said, that means that at least a third of those people actually genuinely considered what I said/shared. If I share something that even reached 2 or 3 people... that is a lot of people. The absolute numbers don't mean much to me, honestly if even a single person genuinely reads an article I find interesting that I share and it impacts them, on a platform as cool as this... I feel good. Now if I am posting/commenting something bitesize, something fluffy or flippantly fun, than 2 or 3 people reacting doesn't mean much, so it all really depends on the context.

@silverpillThe Activity Vocabulary defines Follow on an object, while AP describes delivery and assumes an actor. Both are true at their level. My idea is not to make the Note an actor, but to let the author's actor handle the Follow for its own thread, since it already has an inbox and a key. Your observer creates a new actor per object. Mine reuses the one that already exists. Both need support on each side for real time. Polling is just my fallback when a server does not.

test four begins now.
