@silverpill @sabrinkmann @grindhold I guess that’s possible, but it will really blow up the size of objects after a certain point (e.g. if you want to support multiple representations) and makes Type completely useless … plus e.g. if you want to add attachments that mastodon does not understand, you simply cannot.

---Reply--- silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-07 00:14:39) @Profpatsch @sabrinkmann @grindhold type is not completely useless, it's just an equivalent of a boolean property, for example type: Proposal is another way of saying isProposal: true.

Sometimes types are handy - I don't apply duck typing to activities.

Unrelated: can I lobby you to change FEP names to FEP-human-understandable-shortcut and have the ID just as unique identifier? :)

It’s basically impossible to talk about FEPs with their current hex codes

I think content negotiations would be interesting as soon as we start using different content types more frequently. For example, with software that has menus, I guess it would be interesting to have a note version, an event version and just a proposal version for each item.

Conversely, if you needed to buy a ticket for an event, it would also be interesting to receive a proposal for that.
