@nasser @jleedev @darius right; I'm actually kinda curious about the difference between "all the stuff JSON-LD is capable of as a standard" vs "the way JSON-LD gets used by ActivityPub and its implementations"

I get the feeling that the latter is a lot more just "a document with hyperlinks" and the ontology stuff doesn't really come into play in a serious way, but maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places

@technomancy @nasser @jleedev I've never encountered it as anything but "json with hyperlinks" in an AP context

@darius @technomancy @jleedev and, crucially, the differentiation between strings that are hyperlinks to be followed and strings that are just strings is captured directly in the software, as opposed to consulting some kind of schema in a meaningful way

@nasser @darius @technomancy @jleedev so are we saying that AP could have just used straight JSON and lost essentially nothing?
