> As an aside, I'm quite liking the ActivityPub APIs so far, although ld-json does leave me feeling like there's a fair jump from "script that works" to "actually does everything the spec would theoretically allow".
There's the "linked data conundrum" as I call it, which recently reared its head again, triggered by a #SocialHub post I created the other day:
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/practices-around-json-formatting-of-json-ld-messages/8628
The #LinkedData conundrum is the eternal friction between the plain #JSON and the #JSONLD view of the #ActivityPub social web. And it has never really be solved. I consider it one of the misconception that led to endless discussion, confusion, and waste of time. For the ActivityPub API which hold the promise to correct course towards a more standards-compliant #fediverse, I created an issue on the subject..

Followed by another on protocol design..
With regards to "holding it wrong". The problem may be that everyone is holding it right..... for their own app.
We have an app-centric fediverse of mixed protocol flavors, that turns into an ever more complex aroma. 馃槃
My intent is to publish a blog post tomorrow on https://coding.social that highlights these issues once again. It is title "Grassroots open standards", and here's already the teaser that is the closing part of the article..
@smallcircles @mavnn I'm looking forward to reading the completed article.
It is getting quite long, I'm afraid. I am at a half hour read time now. 馃槄
But at least I added a TLDR section for the rushed infosnack passers-by, which I might just as well already divulge to in below discussion thread..

Hmm. That said, I also seem to have lost the ability to update posts via the UI on #bonfire 1.0.2. I didn't spot exactly when the option disappeared from the menu.

@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz @mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu we did some changes to improve feed performance, you can find the edit button in "advanced" - after opening the 3 vertical dots more menu
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe @strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz hmm. I don't seem to have an advanced option. Am I looking in the right place?
