   Question for my fellow #FediDevs:

   In #ActivityPub when removing a previously accepted follower, should one send a 'Reject' of the 'Follow' or 'Undo' the previously sent 'Accept'. Or is both valid?

     @linos Lemmy, Kbin and PieFed does Undo(Follow), same as Mastodon.

     You don't need to store all ids of previous 'Accept' activities if the software just ignores the ids and looks at the data in the Accept to see who is involved.

     @linos Oh!

     Yeah, Reject/Follow makes sense.

     @jenniferplusplus @rimu Thanks for your answers but I think we mean something different. My concern was about undoing the "Accept of the Follow" not the Follow. The point of view is the actor receiving the follow, not the actor following another. I think one should not send an Undo of an activity one hasn't issued oneself.

     FYI: I found this answer interesting: https://fediversity.site/item/900328af-5252-4198-aa8b-b97bd541bbb8

     @linos mastodon sends Undo(Follow), which seems pretty reasonable to me
