@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org Unfortunately as these are not specified by a standard (AP2 does not make any reference to instances nor the concept of an AS service actor type being used as an instance actor) there is no universal path to resolve them. We can't even have universal properties as some software exposes the following/follower collection, some doesn't etc

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org It's kind of annoying when they're used to sign fetches. Some software expects that you are signing the request with the actor who made the request so if you fetch a private post but it's signed with the instance actor's keys it might not hand over the object. Even more generally the concept of an "instance" is not well-defined (which is why some software does not expect instance actors to be fetching objects, only individual actors). In reality instances may have more than actor acting on behalf of the instance. The one used for forwarding reports and fetching is usually referred to as "instance actor". Misskey has a relay actor (@relay.actor) which is also part of the software and how it behaves. Misskey's instance actor is also used to send Flag activities (anonymizing reports). If I suspend a remote misskey (or fork) instance's actor then I will no longer get reports forwarded to my instance from that instance. I'm unsure of what happens if I ignore the relay actor (in fact, I'm not really sure what relay actors are used for and that kinda scares me since I know akkoma also has one). There's not much documentation on how system/service accounts behave on specific instance software (and how they behave in relation to other instance software)

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org Yes. https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/issues/855 (citing myself lol)

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org i think akkoma's is something like /internal/fetch

@trwnh@mastodon.social @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @julian@community.nodebb.org yep. misskey does this differently. @instance.actor is transfem.social's actor. using base url would not work

i recommend copilot jumps off the nearest bridge

@grug@madverse.city they should make instance software with multiple domain support so you can have grug@cave.cool but still run it on the same instance

good morning fedi, how is everyone doing today? I'm okay just a bit tired

@hrefna@hachyderm.io let me know if you get one i am also out of the loop and im usually the one explaining

i want a dedicated "hold" button for follow requests. you can let them stagnate and never accept/reject them but on most software that comes with the issue of your follow request list becoming big and annoying. the "hold" would just have a special place where you have indefinitely put follow requests on hold to accept/reject later. you might ask "why not reject them?" to which i reply that's usually how you get more follow requests from the same person. "why not block them?" for some of my friends they have gone ahead and done this just to be sent a follow request from a new account who now knows they're blocked. putting follow requests on "hold" while sounding like a dumb idea would be an improvement on this platform.

sometimes i read acab as assigned cop at birth and i just imagine a baby being born with a kevlar vest, cuffs and a taser

@jessew@mk.cpluspatch.com you have to be some level of mentally ill to run a fedi instance ​​

are you a scantron or a zipgrade child ?

(I am both, scantron was popular until middle school where it was phased out for zipgrade)

@steffo@a.junimo.party @mudkip@wetdry.world speaking of which how do you type like that

@steffo@a.junimo.party @mudkip@wetdry.world yeah i would be horrified if you weren't a giant S

surely someone has gotten the developer preview

I am mutuals with SO many game devs and nobody has been talking about S&Box https://sbox.game. I hear it's like roblox but actually good (you can export your games you made in sbox). I am curious, has anyone been fucking around with it? I don't really follow it apart from the occasional reddit post that i see

okay you know what i have not heard on fedi AT ALL that's really getting to me

@julian@community.nodebb.org True. There’s also a distinction in what "algorithm" means in this aspect. I find that when people refer to social media "algorithms" they’re referring to places like YouTube where the "algorithm" has machine learning. There’s a difference between that sort of thing and a simple algorithm (as in the proper term) that collects posts since you last logged off, sorts them by which ones were most active when you log back in and plays those back.
