Forum federation thread on the.socialmusic.network

Hey guys,

  1. This topic was started by Danyl on SocialHub (you can see it here).

  2. @Jagster you may have an account on SocialHub, but you haven’t claimed the user associated with your meta actor there, which is currently a staged user.

  3. It is intentional that posts from other forums cannot be edited by folks on this (i.e. a different) forum. That is normal in ActivityPub (e.g. an admin of one Mastodon instance can’t edit posts from another Mastodon instance). There’s basic principles of ownership and control at work here. Admins on meta are not admins everywhere. By default, edits to an activitypub post are federated everywhere.

Danyl, thanks for the feedback. We’ll think on it some more and incorporate it into upcoming work. We’re also already discussing the confusion that arose from this topic and will likely be making some more documentation and support content as a result soon :slight_smile:
