This was something which @aaronpk pushed for, and ultimately I think was right. The general idea is that your user can live off-site and have the same inbox/outbox as your posts but *aggregate* the posts from your webpage. "id" is the uri of the json-ld object that is distributed for activitypub purposes, "url" is the uri that existed on the source blogpost.
Of course, I'm not sure if any implementations of AP actually are implemented to support this; they could tho
I've seen a few "activitypub for static sites" implementations but haven't looked at if they did it the way we had talked about during the SocialWG tho
(We never expanded on it super far, would love to see an implementation)
Did you know you can use ActivityPub with static site generators? Well anyway, we made space to help ensure it's possible during the standards process! This is one reason there are two fields in ActivityStreams, both `id` and `url`, and ActivityPub supports both
So you can have a static site and have an AP account which aggregates said posts, allowing users to use simple static sites but offload the pubsub work
If you've never read Worse is Better or the history behind it, it's worth reading https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html
tl;dr: Yeah you think your tech is better designed and it may be but the Zerg Rush strategy works for tech (but with long-running consequences)

@wizard getting away with what I'm new here I just made this account
Hello everyone! I just set up this new account?
Things seem pretty cool here on this "fediverse". What does that mean though, the "fediverse"? I hear it's using ActivityPub. Could anyone explain to me what that means? Thanks!
