erincandescent (erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Sep-2024 01:23:05 JST erincandescent Between FediForum and now the Social Web Foundation I'm very tired of seeing these intensely corporate initiatives in this space where the majority of projects are entirely volunteer (or grant supported) efforts -
erincandescent (erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net)'s status on Wednesday, 18-Sep-2024 01:13:37 JST erincandescent @trwnh @julian @silverpill I think the question here is "does a thread actually have any distinct properties of its own?"
Maybe a title, but that can also be inherited from either the first or most recent post. Many threaded discussion systems don't have thread objects at all, of course (email is perhaps the canonical example)
So I lean towards the idea that you should just redirect to the first thread in the post, and place the context (which when becomes just a collection of in-thread posts; an implementation detail) at another URL where it mostly becomes invisible to users.
And I think that's better, especially because having significant semantics on collections starts getting confusing when e.g. you have collection pages flying around
Really I think most types which can be represented directly as a collection (e.g. image galleries) are best represented as an object that possess a collection, though not everyone might agree -

erincandescent (erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net)'s status on Saturday, 14-Sep-2024 02:46:22 JST erincandescent @helge most implementations inline the replies collection, so it shouldn't be required to go and fetch it explicitly most of the time, except that most implementations also only include self replies in the inline collection -
erincandescent (erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net)'s status on Saturday, 14-Sep-2024 02:46:21 JST erincandescent @helge If the replies collection’s items were always inlined (or were always inlined when low enough in number, at least), it would be N fetches for N posts which is not too unreasonable.
The Threadiverse people (Discourse, NodeBB, Lemmy?, MBin?) are also coalescing around the idea of a context collection which contains every post in the entire (logical) thread

Then verify that the key authorises the actor specified in the body to do what they are doing -
