I've got to reduce my stress levels somehow.
@cwebber this section presents the hashtags without a "type" attribute... https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#microsyntaxes
@gargron responding here anyway, if there's no "type" on an object, it defaults to AS2's Object type.
@cwebber could we add a Link::Hashtag type?
@cwebber also... traditionally hashtags are not namespaced or bound to a URL or URI.. in Atom they are just <category term="foo" />.. So when this object needs an id attribute, or a href attribute, I don't know what to give. If it needed href, would I give the local hashtag URL, or have to store and return the remote one?
@gargron Actually definitely file this on the AP tracker since that's a good point re: where to put these tags.
Previously I used objects without ids, which is contrary to my "don't give objects without ids" suggestion ;)
@gargron If you have a "local" uri for all tag posts, one way to do it is: {"type": "Link", "href": "https://mastodon.example/tags/mytagname", "name": "mytagname"}
@cwebber I mean, yeah, that's possible to do, but I don't know what it could be used for. Would that URI return an OrderedCollection..?
@gargron That's what I've planned on doing for my sites.
@cwebber i had another concern: OStatus URIs of the type tag:example.com;12345;foobar are not represented in ActivityPub, but present in Mastodon. How to avoid duplicates between things Mastodon sees via AP vs what it sees via OStatus?
@gargron Oh, I didn't realize there's a tag uri scheme out there https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4151
Technically I guess ActivityPub can support this, since it isn't restricted to just http and https uris... though I guess maybe not all implementations might know what to do with it or not?
Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
@gargron Hm... one route is to add another property via some extension so you can do ostatusTag or something, but admittedly that seems super hairy
