So, an interesting issue came up in the #Fedify repo that I've been thinking about: #629.

You know how every #fediverse server uses `schema:PropertyValue` in actor `attachment` for profile metadata fields (like “Website”, “GitHub”, etc.)? Turns out, strict #AS2 validators like browser.pub […]

I think that this is an important topic to look into more, and work from my clinical psychology trainee indicates that most of the literature on psychosis in autistic individuals is medicalised.

Recently, there was a discussion about generic #ActivityPub servers. Several people claimed that they were working on one, but it turned out that their "generic" servers only support activities defined in the ActivityPub specification. Such a server shouldn't be called generic. It is not […]

There's now a proper rendered web interface for FEPs at `https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/*/` which is much nicer to read than the raw Markdown source on Codeberg. But the canonical permalink, `https://w3id.org/fep/*` still redirects to the Markdown file rather than the rendered page […]

The "side effects" of an activity are everything caused by the activity other than it being visible in its actor's outbox and getting posted to its audience's inboxes. For example, a like or reply being represented in the affected object's `likes` or `replies` collection is a side effect, as is likes or replies being shown on a web page corresponding to the object.

FEP drafting: Am I using “side effects” here the same way as other ActivityPub developers? I've seen the term used a bunch in casual conversation, but my personal understanding of it is kinda fuzzy.
