i might be convinced to write one, if i thought it was a good idea. i just am not entirely sure it is a good idea, because it involves entrenching mastodon’s power over the ecosystem even more.
or, well, you could argue that i already wrote such a thing at ActivityPub - Mastodon documentation i suppose?
yeah, mostly. although the types don’t need to specifically be Service
and Collection
. they can just be Collection
, or there might be some extension type in there. in activitypub, any type can be an actor. it doesn’t have to be a Person / Group / Organization / Application / Service. (although again, most current implementations expect actors to be exactly one of these types…)
there’s more discussion of this at Unresolved issues surrounding Follow activities (from 2019!)
