Public

Most #ActivityPub implementations include Mention objects in the tag attribute when someone mentions another actor within the content of a Note or Article. Should actor objects like Person or Group also include Mention objects in their tag attribute when mentioning other actors within their bio (summary)? Are there any implementations that already work this way? (I've checked Mastodon and it seems they don't include these mentions.) What are your thoughts on this?

Quiet public

@hongminhee洪民憙 (Hong Minhee) Oh, Mastodon doesn't add a Mention object for profile summary mentions? I wonder if that's even intentional, since it does add hashtag references there.

I think it would make sense to have them. On the receiving side, it helps enrich link context and provides information on which links can be made server-local. (Mastodon's behavior on this is weird. Unlike mentions in posts, mentions in bios have unchanged URLs, but clicking them in the web UI loads them server-locally anyway.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://fietkau.social/users/julian/statuses/114154389824969641 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
