How could you represent a quotation in ActivityPub‽

...

I suppose there are 2 major approaches.

Either use an existing Object Type. Maybe:

type="Note"

Or create a new Object Type:

type="Quotation"

...

Here is the interesting thing though —

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #Fediverse #ObjectTypeNote #ObjectTypeQuotation #retejo

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) I think a <blockquote> element could be used:

A link to the original object could be added with FEP-e232.

<blockquote>: The Block Quotation element - HTML | MDN

The <blockquote> HTML element indicates that the enclosed text is an extended quotation. Usually, this is rendered visually by indentation (see Notes for how to change it). A URL for the source of the quotation may be given using the cite attribute, while a text representation of the source can be given using the <cite> element.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mitra.social/objects/019953d1-1ecb-107d-631c-9794ce45ecdd on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
