  @JessTheUnstill This is an interesting idea, have you given thought to how it could be implemented? I was just looking at the spec, and that's going to make things challenging. It requires that persistent objects (like actors) have an ID that is a publicly dereferenceable URI under the authority of the origin server. Which is entirely understandable. And I think an awful lot of the rest of the spec rests on the assumption that you can dereference those IDs.

  @JessTheUnstill DNS has the advantage of being an outside system. But I suppose an independent webfinger service could work? Maybe? Webfinger also requires that the object belongs to the same authority as the webfinger service. That's maybe a more solvable problem.

  @hrefna @JessTheUnstill That would be great. Misbehaving admins is a threat that I would love to have some kind of answer to.

  @hrefna @JessTheUnstill If we could depend on people acting like adults, this wouldn't even be a concern 🙃 Of those options, the 3rd party identity/actor hosting seems the most viable. I think it requires the least coordinated change across federating software, and it doesn't require every single person to run their own internet infrastructure or do their own key/identity custody.

  @jdp23@indieweb.social @thisismissem @hrefna Yeah, I haven't dug into the logic too deeply, but mastodon does decided whether to forward at least in part on some properties of the http signature.

  Google, probably: I have made containers! me: you've ruined a perfectly good process is what you've done. Look at it, it's got agoraphobia

  I'm really sincerely begging the fediverse to recognize the difference between capitalism and commerce. People selling products and services is commerce, which is a good and normal thing. So please stop being weird about artists and artisans who are trying to find their customers on here.
