It seems this issue has resurrected, or resumed

My entire point (all the noise notwithstanding) focused on

Default opt-in versus default opt-out

This is an agent --> recipient transaction

Default opt-in: the recipient is opted into (and participates in) the agent's action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Default opt-out: the recipient is opted out of (and cannot participate in) the action whether the recipient --> knows of <-- the action or not

Neither default opt-in nor default opt-out have any logical meaning if THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT KNOW OF THE AGENT in advance

Here is one of the oldest prior discussions I participated in on Github with Ryan (snarfed) Barrett re: bridgy-fed back starting in February of 2024

Read all of it; it's very long

Here: github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/…

With that, I'm out

Y'all have fun, eh?

#HolosDiscover #HolosIndex #Mastodon #Fediverse #ActivityPub

Opt in/out prompt

If you do implement some sort of opt-in system, I don't want a new notification every time someone follows me. I use fediverse software that supports both public and private posts. If I post it pub...

Well, I read the whole thread. It was a matter of 2-3 people which were more a PITA than giving useful advice.
In my opinion if HolosIndex will be more strict than it already was, since it was very strict in what to index, it will be not useful, since almost no one is going to add #HolosIndex tag and it is not even an ActivityPub standard.
