@smallcircles @naturzukunft2026 I'm not sure "suppressed" is the correct word, but it wasn't an issue of lack of time. There was active opposition to maintaining the AP ontology. I have no idea why and it was probably a coincidence that the primary opposition came from a Solid contributor. At least a conflict of interest would make more sense than the explanations I was being given for refusing to merge PRs related to the ontology.

@chrysn I was not aware of HDT.I will look into it.

@reiver i think the disjunction between Object and Link was actually unnecessary. https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/666i also think there's too much emphasis on types when there really shouldn't be -- it's the *properties* that you end up using almost all of the time. pretty much the only types that actually matter are the Activity types (because you can't infer those).

@julian Yes, very likely.When I built the core software for a bank more than a decade ago, I did the same.

I could imagine another type of post, where the primary content is an image (like a photo or drawing), along with a title and description. But I don't think Mastodon would display the image normally if you don't use Note - not sure what Pixelfed or wafrn do.

I'm looking for your opinions from the developers of the fediverse. A common HTML web page can contain related links via the <link> tag. I would like to do the same for Activity Streams objects, for example: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "id": "https://writings.hongminhee.org/ap/2024/12/a-year-with-the-fediverse.json", "type": "Article", "name": "A year with the fediverse", "content": "2024 was truly a year where I was deeply immersed in the fediverse. …", "url": "https://writings.hongminhee.org/2024/12/a-year-with-the-fediverse/", "attachment": [ { "type": "Link", "rel": "alternate", "hreflang": "ko", "href": "https://writings.hongminhee.org/2024/12/a-year-with-the-fediverse/index.ko-hang-kr.html", "mediaType": "text/html" }, { "type": "Link", "rel": "alternate", "hreflang": "ja", "href": "https://writings.hongminhee.org/2024/12/a-year-with-the-fediverse/index.ja.html", "mediaType": "text/html" } ] } Do you think this makes sense, and would it be appropriate to put Link objects in the attachment? #fedidev #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams
