Why don't you fix your software instead?
It sounds like you're referring to this issue:
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/6588
But in Fediverse, attachment is not supposed to be an object, it's an array.
I don't think you should expect people to comply with your vision of ActivityPub.

@silverpill @hongminhee single element arrays in JSON-LD go to the element itself, not an array.

@mariusor @silverpill @hongminhee yeah, that's definitely not what the spec says.
"The serialized JSON form of an Activity Streams 2.0 document MUST be consistent with what would be produced by the standard JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API [JSON-LD-API] Compaction Algorithm"

@silverpill I don't understand how you infer that from this spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-attachment
silverpill
@mariusor @hongminhee I didn't infer that from the spec, it's how Fediverse works.
silverpill
@mariusor @hongminhee I bet the software you're using right now always sends an array

@Profpatsch what?

@evan @mariusor @silverpill @hongminhee I can't wait for us to finally drop jsonld in a living standard
silverpill
@Profpatsch @hongminhee I'm all for simplification. There can only be one serialization format, and Fediverse has already settled on JSON. Attempts to change de-facto standard to JSON-LD are extremely counter-productive.
Beady Belle Fanchannel
@silverpill @hongminhee why do we need this kind of complication? What's wrong with just always expecting an array and simplifying the standard instead?
Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸
@Profpatsch "Most implementations" treat it like it is -- JSON-LD. They might use different kinds of processors for publishing or consuming it, but on the wire, it's compliant JSON-LD, according to the ActivityPub and Activity Streams 2.0 specs.
Beady Belle Fanchannel
@evan cause most Implementations already treat it as if it was plain JSON with a subset of ActivityPub semantics

@mariusor @silverpill @hongminhee thank you 🙏🏼
