@gargron how do I know whether you've favorited something at a certain point in time and then unfavorited it (and maybe refavorited!) if I have no way to identify the individual actions?
Given an activity stream I should reasonably be able to recreate the activities performed by that stream's user.
-
@gargron Yeah, but it should have a URI and be presentable as an Atom <entry>, shouldn't it? Afaik, <id> is always required in Atom entries.
The database is not interesting. The stream should be archivable as Atom and thus be compatible with everything that understands Atom. That is not true if "transient actions" are not in the stream.

@gargron I think it's important that activities are available in the activity stream. Maybe to achieve what you want, there could be a verb filter parameter to get rid of unwanted/unsupported verbs?

@gargron consider I'm a third party that is interested in the activities of a user. If the stream is archivable as Atom, I can download the user's entire feed by following the rel=next links and thus understand what this user has liked etc. etc. If I have to make multiple extra API calls to see the full picture, it becomes arbitrary and incompatible and instead of usin…
