@blaine@mastodon.social @trwnh@mastodon.social uuuuugggghhhhh i wish i could unlearn that hideous namespace governance

@trwnh@mastodon.social but that's a difference without a distinction, perhaps

@trwnh oh interesting i didn't realize that you meant openworld/closedwforld that literally in the RDF sense, i thought you meant more in the protocol-design sense (of like "drop all unfamiliar properties" as is conventional for all JSON protocols versus "here is how you cautiously parse or preserve for others what you don't know")

@trwnh 1.) love this, looking forward to the blog post. 2.) i'm not 100% convinced of the analogy of open-world : closed world :: AP : "one" "social" "network" , but it resonates a lot with my thinking on platforms lately. i think the fediverse thinks of itself as ONE OPEN platform, rather than multiple overlapping platforms (that could include closed platforms, too, in every sense of closed including the economic!) with no global guarantees, periodt.

@trwnh@mastodon.social @blaine@mastodon.social i guess authority isn't the word for that but there's relrefs and absolute refs at least. not sure i follow the proxy out metaphor tho

@trwnh@mastodon.social @blaine@mastodon.social wait aren't 0 and 1 authorities ? if it starts with 2-9, it's a number in the same area code as you're dialing out from, starts with 1 diff area code, starts with 0 diff country code...

@muntedcrocodile @erlend_sh As for .onion addresses for the Actor object/microservice, that's a bigger ask of implementers, and even if it were implemented, I'm sure more legally-cautious servers would want to disable that feature... but i'm sure someone would make [http://anonserver.xyz/](http://anonserver.xyz/`) once people start using this, and i'm sure they would accept payment in Monero and ZCash 😉

But hey, it's an interesting backlog ticket to consider, I appreciate the suggestion!

@muntedcrocodile @erlend_sh Technically, in the current draft, it can't actually be a *static* file, you still need nginx/caddy/etc to redirect the permanent "indirect urls" ([https://myownserver.xyz/bumble?service=storage?object=123](https://myownserver.xyz/bumble?service=storage?object=123)) to the current/mutable "direct urls" ([https://serviceprovider.com/user/bumblefudge/AP/posts/123](https://serviceprovider.com/user/bumblefudge/AP/posts/123`)).
