   @evan I'm not totally sure I know what "remote actor" means in this context. After Googling, I'm guessing it has to do with users on other servers and for me the hardest part of Fedi stuff (which for me, so far, is Mastodon) is following a link someone gave me to a Masto post but then having to somehow copy that link into an open Masto tab f I want to reply to them. So it's not "seeing" it, it's the UX of it when I'm coming from somewhere else, and I'm nearly exclusively on desktop.

     @jessamyn a person on another server. "Actor" is the formal term in ActivityPub.

     @jessamyn I opted for technical correctness instead of understandability and I regret the error.
