    @soapdog@toot.cafe hmm... just thinking aloud here. You posit in another post that the network effects inflate exponentially: > Push models are resource hogs that approach exponential growth in a large network like the fediverse That's not true. If you post a message then it sends a copy to each follower. That's linear growth. If you collapse recipients via shared inboxes you can reduce that further. If you're referring to the torrent of requests that happen if your post is shared (the "thundering herd" problem) then that's actually a PULL happening from those requesting instances! Secondly, in a pull model of AP, you would need to continually poll servers of all your followers so as to approach a real-time effect. You'd be polling servers over and over again, and many of them would have nothing new, with so much wasted traffic. If your expectations include semi real-time updates, the push model is much more performant, in my humble opinion.

    @silverpill yes. Like I said in the sibling comment, a client can do the collection creation manually and then updating the objects with them.@trwnh

    There is the Web Share API, and the future Web Share Targets API, but I think we could also align Web Share with FedCM and be able to say "I want to share to this type of application"

    @silverpill PS. did I miss where the spec forbids clients passing IDs to the Create objects, or am I right that it could be a valid mechanism?@trwnh
