Sciety is bridging preprints and open social networks. Our latest integration with @bonfire enables you to start a discussion on Sciety and federate anywhere; meeting researchers wherever they already are.

@smallcircles @alex @MichalBryxi it's pretty common on the Fediverse.
That said, I'd love to add vocabulary terms for it. And you could edit your actor object and add them.

@alex @smallcircles @evan Side note: After few decades in IT the #NoBot solution integrated into user profile *text* / bio is something that immediately sounds 🚨🔕🧯as something that will be problematic (as it’s just a monkey patch on an incorrect spot) and should be redesigned when accepted conceptually.
-
@MichalBryxi you only federate if there is a "connection" (I think "a user interacted with a post from the other instance" is enough to establish one)
-
@alex yes, your suggestion was a good one. I did not mean to call you out, just to stipulate the matter to Evan in the mentions and other AP devs. Sorry, if that was unclear.

> The NoBot isn't app specific fwiw, it's pretty standard.
"pretty" boils down to de-facto standard, or rather it became a sorta kinda requirement by means of post-facto #interoperability. In other words: Who comes first, and popularizes some custom app-specific extension, becomes owner of that part of the spec that is now considered protocol-native.
#NoBot is app-specific too. Or Microblogging domain-specific perhaps, albeit implicitly then.
When it comes to considering it standard, we talk about accepting #ActivityPub protocol decay. Specifically:
- Considering the way account profiles are handled to be part of the protocol.
- To handle special control words (or just #NoBot) in the profile text.

@alex Thanks for your time btw. I could as well just google it and read on the topic.

@alex Purely from technical perspective there is no need to have central server. IMO. You follow account, your server and their server exchange information about activity so that your server can give you information on what they did.
I don’t see a reason why the same could not happen for a hashtag. Your server knows which accounts you follow as well as hashtags. Collection can happen for both.
Network load and other real world limitations aside of course.
