@dustyweb @jaywink BTW I think your comment there is a bit off: signatures *are* the way forward now. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#authorization links to https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/ActivityPub/Authentication_Authorization which specifies signatures.

xmpp-social [Takyoji] For clarification: an Actor can only Follow explicitly another Actor, there's no notion of 'custom collections/streams' possible (e.g. example.com/alice/political, example.com/alice/art, etc), correct?
# xmpp-social [ajordan] That's a good question

# xmpp-social [ajordan] I suppose in theory you could do that but AFAIK there's nothing normative about that so in practice I think you'll find it doesn't work
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Actually https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/#follow-activity-outbox would seem to imply it's Actors only
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] Also, I was thinking conversely with Actors, of having different
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] 'followers' collections, e.g. 'friends', 'family', etc. But that could probably be easily implemented in some proprietary C2S addition
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Well you can do that with Collections easily enough
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] It feels like some of the vocabulary taken from ActivityStreams reuses a lot of stuff in different way than original intended. The 'Follow'
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] activity in ActivityStreams reads as if it's only about it happening, not as it causing any side-effects.
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] oh, duh, I guess Add would be enough to have those custom 'circles' (to use Google+'s vocabulary)
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] Although, there wouldn't seem to be any defined way to create said custom collections. (Other than a Create activity, with some custom object type, maybe)

# xmpp-social [ajordan] Takyoji: that's how
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Create
# xmpp-social [ajordan] csarven: omg that looks amazing. I'll look at it when I'm not with family :'D
# xmpp-social [ajordan] cwebber2: not sure if you staged the spec for publication yet but the images in the tutorial mess with the layout width on mobile
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Just needs some CSS tweaking, we can get it when we go to REC too
# xmpp-social [ajordan] ... I'll file an issue to track that
# xmpp-social [Takyoji] Just add: img
{ max-width: 100% }, as a simple CSS fix# xmpp-social [ajordan] ?
# 
cwebber2 rhiaro: ^^^ I updated https://dustycloud.org/tmp/activitypub_latest.html with that fix.
# xmpp-social [ajordan] cwebber2: I'm not seeing images show up at all on that URL
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Also happy thanksgiving!!

# erincandescent cwebber2: oh god, almost all objects in my impl have an inbox :P
# erincandescent Thankfully, not inboxes, or things would get very meta
# puckipedia wouldn't an inboxes inbox just be the inbox itself
# puckipedia anyways huh it wouldn't even be difficult to give everything an inbox in Kroeg
# puckipedia say ... about two lines of code
# xmpp-social [ajordan] I'm just gonna go ahead and skip this conversation to avoid getting nerdsniped :P
# xmpp-social [ajordan] Again
