Good morning Fediverse.

Good morning Fediverse. It's raining.

As a developer, I care about valid data. I don't care if it's linked or not. Make sure it's valid. Tell me how to tell it's valid. Tell me how to tell it's invalid. Tell me it's ok to trash the data if I find it invalid.

Just another post about ActivityPub's failings.

helge@mymath.rocks hmm, this I think I disagree with.

I'm all about valid data, sure. It's annoying when data isn't valid, sure.

I think being accepting of less-than-perfect data is something we can all strive for because it opens the door for so much more.

HTML parsing isn't perfect, it has its lumps (some fairly big ones too), but imagine how much further behind we'd be if syntactically imperfect html led to a blank page.
