@drq @cwebber i get why you'd design things like this tbh, that neatly solves a lot of issues, or at least make them a lot easier to deal with

you can much more easily reason about complete up-to-date information without a need for custom update logic and strategies; comparatively, current-world ActivityPub is a mess in that regard

but a world where everything is public, shared and mediated by a world-knowing entity (even if it can “easily” be replaced with an equivalent one) is not what i'm looking for
