@silverpill An duck rule like the following would fail...
❌ if an object has an inbox or outbox, then it is an ActivityPub actor.
for objects that aren't actors but have valid LDN inboxes (the same property as AP actor inboxes).

@steve I think inbox is enough for duck typing. My implementation of duck typing algorithm doesn't look for outbox property because it is not always present.
This is more of a challenge for ActivityPub, which says that actors MUST have both inbox and outbox.

@steve Do you refer to any particular duck typing implementation?
