この問題についても話したいことはたくさんありますが、まず、MastodonやMisskeyなどの既存の主流な実装が「ActivityPubを改善するため」という名目で、FEPのような標準化プロセスを経ずに拡張機能を実装してしまうのは、コミュニティとしては困る点があると考えています。こうした批判を意識してか、Mastodonは最近、独自の引用仕様を実装する前に「FEP-044f: Consent-respecting quote posts」を提案したりもしました。ただ、FEPが依然として英語圏中心で動いていることは、非英語圏の開発者にとっては残念な状況だと思います。

@hongminhee洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) :nonbinary: The Mastodon team has actually been publishing FEPs for a while before FEP-044f. I'm at least aware of helge.codeberg.page/fep/fep/8f and helge.codeberg.page/fep/fep/5f

I agree that the FEP process happening in English is a barrier. ActivityPub itself is a W3C spec of course, and: “The working language of W3C is American English.” w3.org/Consortium/Translation/

Specifically, FEP-a4ed says: “All Fediverse Enhancement Proposals must be written in English” helge.codeberg.page/fep/fep/a4

FEP-8fcf: Followers collection synchronization across servers - Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

In ActivityPub, follow relationships are established, updated and removed by sending activities such as Follow, Accept or Reject, which are assumed to be correctly and promptly processed upon receipt. However, due to incompatible protocol extensions, software bugs, server crashes or database rollbacks, the two ends of a Follow relationship may end up out of sync. This can be especially damaging when a remote instance has outdated information about follow relationships that should have been revoked, as some implementations may deliver activities addressed to the sender's followers collection by using the sharedInbox mechanism and letting the recipient use the sender's followers collection for local delivery and access control. This proposal describes an optional mechanism for detecting discrepancies in following relationships across instances, with minimal overhead and without loss of privacy.
