And why must I create a new ‘article’ to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.
I’m coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also… not; very uncanny valley.
Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?
Thank you, this makes sense! I mean, it also makes me think this becomes exceptionally noisy as the boosts may grow at a low exponential rate as the number of users expands, but I will watch it and see how it works here :)
It is noisy, but it’s also the only way to really make sure content propagates content the network.
