    @chris @reiver @ezeno789 the key is that other servers have to consult the `replies` collection when they show the replies. Fortunately the original server sends `Add` and `Remove` activities when items are added and removed, so remote servers can keep a cached copy.

    "Hitler" user names is not a moderation problem, it's an admin problem and it's trivial to fix.Just block any instance with clueless admins. The remaining network is the awesome one."Moderation" is a real thing but it's much easier when some incompetent admin is not letting Nazis in the door.#ActivityPub #Mastodon

    #La trasparenza e la effettiva decentralizzaizone di Bluesky alla prova dei fatti di un fattoLa controversia sul divieto di accesso degli utenti rivela che l'aspirazione decentralizzata di #Bluesky non è realeIl protocollo di Bluesky è così complicato che nemmeno la più grande rete alternativa ha capito come rendersi indipendentehttps://plus.flux.community/p/banning-controversy-reveals-blueskys

    Mastodon has a concept called "pinned statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured It wasn't readily known how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley: The actor itself will issue an Add activity targeting the collection with the status in object. This activity is sent to all followers of the actor. No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers. A Remove is sent when a pinned post is unpinned. This is what the Add looks like: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Add", "actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser", "target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured", "object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560" } The corresponding Remove is identical except for type, which is of course, Remove.
