I spend time thinking about how this (the importance of files and file data-formats) intersects with user-experience (UX).

For example, what types of files could you get regular people to create?

I don't think you can get regular people en masse to write JSON (including JSON-LD).

I think even getting them (regular people) to write HTML is difficult.

Something similar to Markdown probably has the best chance or success. Maybe something similar to INI, too.

If you cannot get (most) regular people to write JSON-LD, JSON, or even HTML —

But, you might be able to get them (regular people) to write something similar to Markdown and INI —

Then, are there ways you could (explicitly or implicitly) encode JSON-LD type information, such as ActivityPub, into a Markdown-like or INI-like file — in a way where they (regular people) would likely include it?

I suspect — probably yes.
