@danhon @lmorchard I will be publishing an extremely detailed document on my design, which will be based more or less on how Fedibird does it but with important differences

What gets federated out is a "quoteId" that is a URI that resolves to the AP object for a post. Remote servers SHOULD fetch it with a network request because otherwise anyone can claim they are quoting anything.

I'm curious, where does the "you already trust the source" claim come from, @thomasfuchs?

@darius @danhon @lmorchard @thomasfuchs Is there a reason not to make the quoteid the canonical url of the original post? (Or is that the plan?)

@darius @danhon @lmorchard @thomasfuchs also if you can edit posts then there'll be chaos*

*not chaos, but mild perturbation.

but it seems like if servers cache AP objects it'd make sense/alleviate resources to cache quoted AP objects and resolve them locally (+ occasionally checking the origin server for updates/edits/etc), no? maybe i'm throwing a weird wrench into this whole conversation
