@grishka@mastodon.social @mariusor@metalhead.club My actor has an ed25519 key. Check out FEP-521a - that's what Mastodon is implementing.

    @silverpill@mitra.social are we allowing Mastodon guide ActivityPub development again, when alternatives exist? @grishka@mastodon.social

    @silverpill@mitra.social @mariusor@metalhead.club ok, so after actually reading the FEP, I see that the encoded representation of each key has a variable-length integer prefix specifying which kind of key it is. And it's also encoded into "base-58-btc" so that... implementers suffer? I don't get it. Why not just use base64, that seems like an unnecessary nuisance

    @silverpill@mitra.social @mariusor@metalhead.club ohh so that's how backwards compatibility is going to work. I thought `publicKey` would just become an array since the spec permits that iirc

    @silverpill@mitra.social @mariusor@metalhead.club huh, interesting, I tried fetching your actor and it turns out one of the contexts uses a JSON-LD version that's too new for my JLD processor... Also probably the first time ever I'm seeing @ graph used in the wild. Not really a problem for me as I was going to put these two contexts into my resources anyway and I could as well edit them.
