I've been reviewing the new FEP from the Mastodon team today, and one thing that caught my attention is the use of Accept and Reject activities for managing approvals. Another day, someone proposed to use Follow activity for "watching a thread".
So now, when you receive a standard activity, you need to use increasingly complicated heuristics to figure out what the activity does, because it is not possible to infer that from its type anymore.
This has to stop. I think we need to start giving our activities better names.

@silverpill the purpose of this madness is to force the whole fediverse to be "Mastodon". To me, developing Aktor, I will decide that unspecified activities belong to type "gibberish" and create a specific timeline for gibberish. That's it.

@uriel Oh hello there, I have a question about Aktor. Could you provide a short description of the project? In one sentence - it's for @weekinfediverse newsletter.
