@hongminhee @jalefkowit huh. I’ve been pondering using it for some projects of mine, so this is good to know.
Is it a fundamental problem with JSON-LD, such that it should just be avoided, or a problem with how ActivityPub uses it?
And is there something else you’d recommend that fulfills the same goals?

@lkanies@hachyderm.io @jalefkowit@vmst.io To be honest, I'm not too sure myself. I just know that JSON-LD was originally planned as a foundation for the Semantic Web. I can only guess that if ontology is useful in a certain area, then JSON-LD would probably be useful there too.

@lkanies @hongminhee @jalefkowit activitystreams is heavily under specified, most keys can hold a dozen differently shaped values with no indication of which are correct or will be accepted or need to be fetched and recursively revalidated a vocabulary made to connect has side tracked the network with little to no benefit
