dmitriz: you got some nice praise for your scribing https://tiny.tilde.website/@pho4cexa/100877951478319658
#
cwebber2
and indeed I thought you did a great job
#
cwebber2
I think I forgot to say thanks, I usually try to, but I wasn't feeling well so I blame that...!
#
dmitriz
cwebber2: awww yeyy, thanks! :)

Hello? :/
#
cwebber2
hi Angle
#
cwebber2
welcome to #social :)
#
Angle
Hey!
#
Angle
I never know how to use IRC. I always log on and theres nobody else around. :/
#
cwebber2
irc is maxiumum asynchronous communication ;)
#
Angle
Mmm, yeah... :/
#
Angle
Oh! Anyway, I'm still working on Agora. Guess I need to look into UI, next? Or maybe add support for likes and boosts. I dunno. :/
#
Angle
For those not familiar, you can se what I'm talking about here: https://agora-2866.nodechef.com/home
#
cwebber2
cool Angle :)
#
Angle
Haha yeah. I just wish I could be more decisive about it, though. I have no idea what to do next. -_-

Oh! Rught, I forgot what I was going to ask. Is there any plan to add features useful for having forums, in ActivityPub? Allowing people to "Watch" a post the same way they would like it, for example, or allowinf people tgo add a post to a list and have all responses automtaically added to that list, and others to subscribe to that list? Or various things like that?:/
#
cwebber2
Angle: my thinking on subscribing to topics has been maybe just doing the usual Follow && Accept/Reject process to those too...
#
cwebber2
there's no reason plain ol' objects can't also have inboxes...
#
cwebber2
it probably would make sense to maybe have some sort of thread type more suited to forums
#
cwebber2
I dunno
#
cwebber2
I haven't thought about that part in depth
#
Angle
Yeah I dunno either. Theres also the question of federating moderation
#
Angle
SO you can subscribe to an instance or a moderator and have their decisions be endorsed by your instance, or whatever. Unless you choose to override them, anyway. :/
#
Angle
And maybe a system where a user can say "Hey these two posts are very similar" and have them become linked? Be useful for heavy duty discussions. :/
#
Angle
I dunno. There are a lot of possibilities. -_-

Angle: there is https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-context -- e.g. {type:note,context:["https://example1/threadctx","https://example1/subtopicctx",{type:link,rel:something,href:etc}] }
#
rialtate[m]
Where those context objs are probably orderedcollections
jdormit_mobile joined the channel
#
Angle
Mmm, that would help, but I'd also like a way to establish connections between things after they are created.
#
Angle
So you can say "This series of posts from a year ago fits very well in this forum and is very interesting."
#
rialtate[m]
If those contexts are in fact collections then you would federate an Add to the object (collection)...
#
Angle
Hmm...! Alright, that could work. Would you also need to federate an update? or is that just for content and/or summary? :/
#
rialtate[m]
Add covers it
