@silverpill And use a multi-type then, too! :) I am becomming a fan of those more and more.

@linos That wouldn't improve compatibility because fedi services either reject multi-typed objects or discard anything but the first type. We don't even have a specification that describes how multi-typing is supposed to work.

I mean, I agree that multi-typing could be useful in theory. But duck typing is much better, and doesn't require buy-in from implementers.
