@trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net I mean we’re going to have to agree to disagree there lol

@cwebber@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net one of the things I like about the json-ld representation is that unless we get into more complicated relationships (such as coincidentally the Relationship object) for the most part you don’t have to consciously think about it. With the xml way… oh god.

@cwebber@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net specifically I mean that representing AP within RDF/XML would be horrendous for both implementations and for people trying to learn about how these sort of things are represented.

@cwebber@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net the only real opinion I have on rdf is that I am glad we use json-ld instead of the xml representation because based on the Wikipedia page’s example of rdf in xml it’s fucking disgusting and I say this as someone who generally doesn’t hate xml

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @cwebber@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social Here we are I have found a much more valid example. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-subject a subject can be either.

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @cwebber@social.coop @trwnh@mastodon.social well that certainly doesn't help with confusion lol

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @trwnh@mastodon.social @cwebber@social.coop im so confused to why it specifies Object | Link here then unless I am misinterpreting what that means which is always possible

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @trwnh@mastodon.social @cwebber@social.coop OH I know why i am confusing this i am using AS logic not AP

@trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @cwebber@social.coop if i see

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "summary": "Sally offered the Foo object",
  "type": "Offer",
  "actor": {
    "type": "Person",
    "id": {
      "type": "Link",
      "href": "http://sally.example.org"
    },
    "summary": "Sally"
  },
  "object": "http://example.org/foo"
}

@trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @cwebber@social.coop I don't know. most of the time you will actually see URIs like erin said above. I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually sit there with a full link object for the id of another object (although you could. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-id)

@trwnh@mastodon.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @cwebber@social.coop usually you have object | link and if you're emitting an activity on another post people tend to link the remote object so that implementations have to fetch from that server instead of relaying

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net well thank god i have no sense of shame

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net oh my god

ok so i understand the very basic premise of Actor emits a Like activity, so instance A (hosting the actor) sends instance B an activity on /inbox that's of type Like... super simple. What I don't understand is how in the sweet hell does misskey federate reactions unless it literally just sends a like activity to everyone's inbox
