Comment on ActivityPub vs RSS Atom etc. Why Federate instead of aggrigate?
Coopr8@kbin.earth 1 week agoThanks, this is helpful.
Regarding encryption for signatures, that would be for edit and delete permissions only while the content stays unencrypted? Admin keeps delete control.
Delete requests go to all instances where followers reside then, but if someone has unsubscribed and is the only follower on the instance the content persists in cache?

ActivityPub messages are not encrypted, but they could be signed. Signing doesn't prevent edits and deletes.
Yes, if someone has unsubscribed they are unlikely to be notified about the deletion.
