Dear @evan, @FediverseSymbol, what other follows are there? However it doesn't have to stop there. A mutual follow is 2 one-way follows. Feedback is what comes after or on-top follow. At first there is the notification which I never have seen other than being one-way.
However feed subscriptions were anonymous and therefore e.g. not easily blockable.
Btw. https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/ allowed for expiring subscriptions. That would solve the mastodon account deletion avalanche issue. Imagine 3-monthly (automatically) renewing follows. We should do the math what that means for the amount of maintenance messages. The burden of maintaining a subscription would be on the subscriber side rather than the publisher which IMO would be a good thing.
Hi @pfefferle, if the post features a <link rel="replies"> or an according Link response http header, that should give some clues. Otherwise ask webfinger?resource=https://example.com/blog/posts/23/ and check there.
IMO that's legit <link rel> use - may not be widely implemented (yet).
Hi @pfefferle und @grindhold - ich stehe wieder auf dem Federation Schlauch und brauche Hilfe. Könnt Ihr mal kurz draufschauen?
Z.B. Bewegung.Social behandelt dev.seppo.social/2023-08-28 und demo.seppo.social/2023-10-10 sehr unterschiedlich und ich habe keinen Schimmer wieso. Die Header sind gleich und der Body quasi aus. Allerdings ist der, der klappt Http 1.1 und der, der scheitert Http 2.0. Aber das kanns ja nicht sein, oder? Fällt Euch sonst noch was auf?
@hongminhee I find the means overcomplicating the ends. Abstractions will just increase the bloat. Example? The content-negotiation voodoo for contrived usecases. Or the 'orderedItems' in contrast 'items' plus a 'type' indicationg the same. All this NIH redundancy just for brittleness.
Maybe pubsubhubbub plus salmon + a bit of rdf can do the same.
@hongminhee@blainsmith agreed, so what can we (you and I, seriously) do about it? In the short term there may be only holding our breath and hoping the best. What in the longer terms?
