q: i'm using a playstation controller but i have xbox button prompts
a: disable steam input, we have native support! (for the ps4 controller but not the ps5 controller apparently)
ActivityPub, Mastodon, Zap and so on
@mike hi! i'm once again looking at groups, reply forwarding and control, and related features
one major difference between Mastodon and your projects seems to me that Mastodon treats all posts, including replies, as first-class objects on which their author has full control and responsibility, while your projects seem to follow more of a facebook-style “posts and comments” model, where the post's owner has authority and is responsible for distributing the comments
is that assessment correct?
if so, i'm not interested in switching Mastodon to a “posts and comments” as a primary model, as i believe this also has drawbacks (for instance, someone replying to a post can't really reason on the reach of their reply), but i'm wondering whether we could implement proper support for interacting with post-and-comments content without breaking your expectations nor misleading users
so i'm wondering how your projects deal with ActivityPub replies that break your expectations of going through the original post's author for authority and distribution, if you handle both models explicitly, and if you have something to explicitly signal that you expect replies to go through you (i can see that you have a replyTo
attribute but i've not seen it documented in this specific context)
i'm also interested in knowing how recipients can authenticate relayed replies when those are not public
finally, this is not my focus right now, but i've been thinking about reply control a bit, and how that could effectively work (especially outside of a “posts and comments” model, but that can still apply to “posts and comments”). this is a rough draft that hasn't settled on vocabulary or anything, but i'd still be glad to have feedback on this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/14762#issuecomment-1196889788

I work on some social media software called Mastodon
I do not accept many follow requests anymore (it's not against you, but if we have never interacted, I won't accept yours)
