@smallcircles @cwebber @steve I'm fine with that.
However, I think ActivityPub builds up persistent state on the server side which can be read and used by other processors.
For example, when I `Like` something, it goes into my `liked` collection, and the activity goes into the `likes` for that object. The `Like` activity goes into my `outbox` and others' `inbox`. People can review that information and use it.
