FEP-7458: Using the replies collection

[trwnh]

Accept/Reject doesn’t have the same semantics of Add/Remove, so that’s why I went with Add/Remove. There may still be potential for dual-typing as AddToReplies and so on, but for that I’d point toward FEP-0391 as that expands upon this one.

FEP-0391: Special collection proofs

Hello! This is a discussion thread for the proposed FEP-0391: Special collection proofs. Please use this thread to discuss the proposed FEP and any potential problems or improvements that can be addressed. Summary Some properties represent special collections, such as: outbox ([ActivityPub][AP]) inbox ([ActivityPub][AP]) followers ([ActivityPub][AP]) following ([ActivityPub][AP]) liked ([ActivityPub][AP]) likes ([ActivityPub][AP]) shares ([ActivityPub][AP]) replies (FEP-7458) context (FEP…

Quick summary of that one:

• When an activity that has a side effect of adding something to a special collection is received, you respond with an Add that is attributedTo the activity with the side effect.
• When you receive an activity that is attributedTo one of your activities, you Update your activity to include the received activity as the result of your activity.
  • If your activity was a Create, then:
    • if the target of the stamp was context, then Update the object to add a contextProof.
    • if the target of the stamp was inReplyTo.replies, then Update the object to add an inReplyToProof.

Given that, I’m still thinking about whether to have a manuallyManagesReplies property (or similar) in this FEP or the other FEP. I am leaning toward this one.
