cjslep[m] And because of the confusing side effects of something like Update-on-Activity, I am inclined more for abandoning these poorly defined ActivityStreams types entirely and using an extension.
#
cjslep[m] Which off the top of my head could be as simple as a copy-paste clone except it "extends" from Object instead of Activity.
#
dansup I am working on Circles for pixelfed, trying to decide on the AP extension for them
#
dansup is anyone interested in working together on this?
#
nightpool[m] Do you need an extension for circles?
#
nightpool[m] Wouldn't it just be a difference in audience targeting?
#
dansup well, that is true but I was thinking the recipient should be aware its a post in a circle and maybe other circle participants
#
dansup maybe that is too much
#
nightpool[m] All you would need to do is deference the collections in the to/cc attributes though?
#
dansup yeah
#
dansup I guess it could be considered a private/followers only post that would be the easiest
#
nightpool[m] I'm just not sure why it would need to be an extension
#
dansup oh, I was thinking in pixelfed of having a label that says "Circle Post" or something so its distinct from other posts
#
nightpool[m] just address the post `to: "https://pixelfed.social/user/nightpool/groups/foo"`
#
nightpool[m] Sure, that could just be any post addressed to a Group
#
dansup recipients probably don't care they are in someones circle though
#
dansup oh Group, interesting. Never considered that
#
nightpool[m] or a Collection of Actors
#
dansup yeah, should keep it simple. Thanks for the feedback nightpool[m] :D
#
cwebber2 dansup: yeah, "collections as circles" was definitely an intention
#
cwebber2 Gargron: I did an implementation of Question as an activity in Pubstrate but admittedly, Pubstrate really didn't have any users. I understand how Question could be seen as more of an object... in a sense, "Question" seems like it could be a noun or a verb (and indeed it is in english)
#
cwebber2 I am trying to think if there's any protocol design reasons why it would be better to have Question specifically as a verb rather than a noun, but I'm not sure if there is one

fr33domlover Hopefully that person has a mentor who can help them (or they come back and ask with more detail)
#
jdormit[m] I feel like IRC isn't always ideal for tech support
#
jdormit[m] although they could have stayed online...
#
nightpool[m] I've never liked IRC for helping people, yeah
#
nightpool[m] hopefully they post on discourse.joinmastodon.org or socialhub.network
#
nightpool[m] although my socialhub.network account is still "restricted" for making a bugs thread with too many screenshots lol
#
nightpool[m] seems to be a very infrequently moderated platform
#
jdormit[m] I think dansup has mod privileges on socialhub?
#
fr33domlover nightpool[m], I didn't know mastodon had a discourse forum! how did you find out about it :p
#
fr33domlover I never saw any links to it :-/
#
fr33domlover I think that person needs basic programming support
#
nightpool[m] there's a link to it on joinmastodon.org
#
nightpool[m] and also in our README I think?
#
fr33domlover Which they could find one way or another, if they stayed here longer
