    @julian how does null have anything to do with this? Delete null doesn't make sense

        @trwnh@mastodon.social no particular reason, except I think mentions to SocialHun accounts don't work?

            @trwnh@mastodon.social I forked this thread out into a new thread (so I don't think it'll keep showing up on SocialHub, but who the heck knows when federation is concerned lol)

            As for 500 chars, perhaps it's high time you switched to an instance with looser character limits...

            Except your content wouldn't migrate over wonk wonk

              Okay, I am perfectly fine to relax the requirement from a MUST to a SHOULD.

              Does that resolve the thundering herd concern acceptably?

              Other solutions would entail:

              Setting explicit null as object (yes @trwnh@mastodon.social this is yet another example of a place where null makes sense!) if the object is hard deleted. Sending an ETag header with the Delete activity. When re-requesting, send that same value in If-Modified-Since and the receiver can opt to terminate execution early with an HTTP 304.

              julian2:

              If object is a reference, the server MUST request the object (via its id) from the origin server directly.

              i think this requirement can be removed, as the behavior on receiving a Delete is up to the receiver and not the sender. that's also where the issue lies -- receivers assuming Delete is a permanent removal. any or all of the following behaviors on receiving a Delete are "valid" in some sense:

              do nothing to the object, just store the activityexpunge object from HTTP cacheexpunge object from AS2/RDF datasetedit the object to say it is "deleted"convert object to a Tombstoneprevent reuse of the object.idfetch the object using HTTP GET and handle caching/refetching using HTTP cache control headers

              having a reference doesn't imply needing to fetch it if you already have information about it. if you don't already have information about it then you can also choose not to fetch on Delete activities. the point of having an id is that you can choose whether or not to obtain additional information! that's what linked data is founded on -- the linking. every link is in effect a boundary between two records of information.

              if the goal is to prevent receivers from completely purging an object, then you can't really do this. if the goal is to stop receivers from preventing reuse of the id, then recommend that they SHOULD NOT do this.

              more generally i would ask you to consider two different senses of "deletion":

              Delete / Undo DeleteUpdate(object.formerType=object.type, object.type=Tombstone) / Update(object.type=object.formerType)

              a Tombstone is still an Object and can have all the properties of Object btw, so it's valid to have this:

              type: TombstoneformerType: Notecontent: "[deleted]"attributedTo:

              or this:

              type: TombstoneformerType: Notecontent: "the text is still there but the account was deleted"attributedTo: type: Tombstone formerType: Person

              or this:

              type: TombstoneformerType: Notecontent: "the text is still there but the account was deleted"attributedTo: # GET someone HTTP/1.1# HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
