RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/116471973046146144 If an ActivityPub Actor is something that has an "inbox" or an "outbox" (i.e., it could have just one or both) then — Perhaps we should also be talking about "sources" and "sinks", too. Where — An ActivityPub Source is an Actor with just an "outbox" (and no "inbox"). And, an ActivityPub Sink is an Actor with just an "inbox" (and no "outbox"). #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev

What makes an ActivityPub Actor and Actor? I think it is probably a bad idea to just restrict it to things with 'type': "Application", "Group", "Organization", "Person", and "Service". Restricting it to just those would mean you couldn't have new actor types (and sub-types) in the future. So then, do we do it in a duck-typing way? And if "yes", how? Maybe if something has an "inbox" OR and "outbox" it is an Actor. I.e., it could have just one of those. #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev

And, if this is the case, then every ActivityPub / ActivityStreams library should be on the look-out for "inbox" and "outbox" fields on everything. Doesn't matter what it is. An "Event", an "Image", a "Link", a "Place", a "Video", even things in other namespaces. #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev

Can an ActivityPub 'Place' also be an Actor? https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-place With followers, an outbox, etc. That could be useful for both real-life places, and fictional places in stories, and in video games. #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediFiction #FediGames

Should an ActivityPub 'Place' be used to represent a fictional place? https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-place Such as a fictional place in a story, or a video game? #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediFiction #FediGames

Would you play a Fediverse game? Would you play a Fediverse game about Meta Humans? #ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediGames #Fediverse #Games #VideoGames #MetaHumans

#ActivityBud - the exciting practice of intentionally misinterpreting the #ActivityPub and #ActivityStreams specs in order to derive ridiculous conclusions. By analogy with the movie Air Bud, where the team proved that there ain't no rule that a dog can't play basketball.
