Reply to @dansup@mastodon.social Gregory@grishka@mastodon.social (2026-06-14 22:34:26) @dansup well, if you have free easy access to a buffet all day every day with no limitations whatsoever, and you lack self-control, which kids often do, I'm sure you will develop an eating disorder

Reply to @raphael@mastodon.communick.com silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 22:32:43) @raphael @phnt In a way, yes. My personal preferences:

1) self-describing objects (better DX)
2) more efficient processing

Reply to @mariusor@metalhead.club silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 22:28:58) @mariusor Activity type is not the only meaningful information about the side-effect, but in many cases a custom type could help with the identification.

So doesn't it mean that, in practice, your objection to the FEP is purely about your personal preference?

Reply to @grishka@mastodon.social dansup@dansup@mastodon.social (2026-06-14 22:24:38) @grishka that has nothing to do with the medium, buffets serve a lot of food, all you can eat, but that doesn't mean you will develop an eating disorder by simply visiting one. It's way more complicated than that, but I wanted to simplify it.

Reply to @dansup@mastodon.social Gregory@grishka@mastodon.social (2026-06-14 22:23:08) @dansup I have to disagree here. The medium does not matter, yes. Our generation watched a lot of TV as kids and it didn't make us worse either.

But TikTok, reels and shorts are different. They are served by an algorithm that adapts to the viewer instead of being authored for a general audience. It's designed to make you, personally, stay engaged as long as possible. It's called brainrot for a reason. You need self-control to consume this kind of content responsibly.

Reply to @raphael@mastodon.communick.com silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 22:20:47) @raphael @phnt I don't think there is a difference.

Reply to @silverpill@mitra.social marius@mariusor@metalhead.club (2026-06-14 22:18:50) @silverpill wrong about thinking that the activity type is the only meaningful information about the side-effect of its reception.

The official specification already has a case where Create/Delete have slightly different logic based on their objects:

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#h-motivations-crud

vs.

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#h-motivations-relationships

PS. I'm not defending the Mastodon FEP, but clarifying that the underlying assumption of using existing vocabulary for what is basically the same operation, be it on different object types, makes sense.

Reply to @phnt@fluffytail.org silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 22:18:42) @phnt

You ideally should verify that AcceptFeatured refers to the type of the Object as expected, effectively doing the same thing anyway.

It is not the same thing because you skip one expensive operation: determining the subtype of activity.

You also need to add that as a supported type to your Acccept/Reject validator since they are basically the same, you have to modify your activity builder, if you have one, to create these new types if you wish to support creation and not just ingestion.

Is that a problem? I already have different parsers and different builders for different activities.

The same argument can be made about Create/Update Activities which operate on a bunch of Object types. CreateNote/UpdateNote/UpdateActor/... doesn't make sense in my head as well.

Create and Update have an embedded object, so they do not require specialized names.

Reply to @marquito@mastodon.social Marquito@marquito@mastodon.social (2026-06-14 22:12:39) Kurzes Fazit dazu:

Zumindest bei den frei verfügbaren #KI Modellen kann man solchen Analysen nach wie vor nicht trauen. Zu viele Fehler, die man nur mit entsprechendem Know-How erkennt, die aber auf den ersten Blick logisch klingen.

Außerdem stellt sich nach wie vor die Frage nach einer sinnvollen Anwedung für die breite Masse, wenn es um KI geht, wenn nichtmal simple Recherche funktioniert.

Aktuell gilt immer noch: Recherchiert und denkt lieber selber.

the medium changes. the panic never does. 🚀

Reply to @mariusor@metalhead.club silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 22:07:12) @mariusor Wrong about what, using different names for different things?

Only a few activities from Activity vocabulary work well with any type of object. For example Create and Update.

What is the practical difference between having to agree on the meaning of "Type + verb" vs "VerbType"?

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @sabrinkmann@hachyderm.io (2026-06-14 20:30:50) Have you ever wondered which cities are mentioned the most in the Fediverse? I did! I built a small tool that checks the hashtags for the biggest cities in DE, AT, CH, NL, GB, IT, FR and DK.

You can see the results on the map here: https://54gradsoftware.codeberg.page/fedi-cities/.
You can find the software here, along with a list of limitations: https://codeberg.org/54GradSoftware/fedi-cities.

This is only a small, limited analysis, but you can see lots of dots everywhere, especially in bigger cities, and generally in Germany and the Netherlands. [1/3]

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 20:52:07) 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.

Marquito@marquito@mastodon.social (2026-06-14 21:29:28) Ich habe mir mal den Spaß gemacht und diverse KI-Modelle nach dem Ausgang der Fussball-WM gefragt. Ich hatte gebeten das Netz nach Kader und Ergebnissen zu durchforsten und daraus ein Ranking aller Nationen nach Wahrscheinlichkeit zu erstellen.

Die Topfavoriten haben die KIs eigentlich alle richtig getippt, aber die Begründungen sind zT hanebüchen. Ein paar Highlights kommen gleich in einzelnen Tröts.

So instead of some long switch/case statement on an Object type, you now have a long list of Accept*/Reject* types that all have the same semantics just operating on different types. And more handling in your validators/builders.

The same argument can be made about Create/Update Activities which operate on a bunch of Object types. CreateNote/UpdateNote/UpdateActor/... doesn't make sense in my head as well.

Reply to @phnt@fluffytail.org silverpill@silverpill@mitra.social (2026-06-14 21:17:23) @phnt @lain Not long ago I saw a Create activity from Cookifed and the object type was ["Note", "Baking"].
