@trwnh@mastodon.social @silverpill@mitra.social Another interesting "side effect" twist... some of the standard side effects are conditional (like only adding an actor to a following collection after an Accept is received). I think the FEP should also cover what happens with Undo of an activity with explicit side effects. Some secondary/side activities might have clear reversals and others not (some kinds of Update?).

@steve@social.technoetic.com @silverpill@mitra.social i assume the Undo would have a result that describes that? so Undo(Follow) might have a result of Remove from Follow.actor.following+Follow.object.followers in theory. for the other way around the Follow doesn't have a result but the Accept(Follow) has a result of Add to Follow.object.followers+Follow.actor.following but i think Follow is a bad example because it really should be subscription record management instead, ideally.
