#
tuxether[m] a lot of new people are learning about AP thanks to the spam kaniini is facing :D
#
kaniini_ cwebber2 actually i came up with a pretty clever idea
#
kaniini_ i am going to write an irc bot
#
kaniini_ that also has an AP inbox
#
kaniini_ so to ensure the meetings do not get crapflooded
#
kaniini_ we can lock down the channel
#
kaniini_ and if somebody needs to be let in, they can message the bot in fediverse with a UUID they request from the bot in IRC
#
kaniini_ whereever needed
#
kaniini_ the problem is that IRC is essentially an unauthenticated platform
#
kaniini_ but if we can force people to prove identity through using fediverse
#
kaniini_ then we can trust they aren't a bot ;)
#
kaniini_ XMPP MUC has a lot of design flaws
#
kaniini_ for example, it sends the same XMPP message to each individual user
#
kaniini_ there's no topology knowledge like matrix or AP sharedInbox
#
kaniini_ inefficient

tuxether[m] cwebber2: that is cool! but you lose the benefits of static typing when using that library.
#
donpdonp someone got a link of some json-ld examples showing it in original form, then 'expanded' form?
#
donpdonp woah. thx.
#
donpdonp wow. there's more to json-ld than meets the eye.

pantherse cwebber2, you got a minute to talk about activipy?
ajordan joined the channel
#
pantherse cwebber2: I was going to ask you if you got my email that I send on msg a few weeks back. I was thinking it might be easier for you to email me your thoughts for activipy going forward.
#
pantherse One thing I just noticed is activipy doesn't include the "@context". Although all discussions made it clear that it's not a requirement, I find the concept useful especially for implementing protocols that extends activitypub.
#
pantherse My thinking is one can use activipy as a jumping off point to implement the new/inheriting protocol.
#
pantherse I have a fork of the project in github that I can start doing work at. Just to be sure, activipy current works with python 2.x and 3.x?

cwebber2 btw there's been a lot of misinformation about json-ld and its inclusion in ActivityPub. I wanted to clear some of it up: https://octodon.social/web/statuses/100527636732474823

tuxether[m] is there any guidance on whether or how long to cache the public key retrieved from someone's profile?
#
fr33domlover1 tuxether[m], check web payments / security vocaulary docs if any exists? wherever that public key stuff came from?
