@sun @lnkr I think the equivalent of realtimeChannel can be implemented over ActivityPub too - client-to-client encryption is not very difficult. Iroh is not magic either - when it doesn't know how to connect to a peer directly it connects to a relay operated by the iroh team. I suspect this relay is used for the vast majority of iroh connections, so ActivityPub might be actually a better choice because AP servers can act as relays and we already have so many of them.

@evan It depends on the terms of the agreement.

No agreement should be necessary, though - FEPs are in public domain, they can be implemented by anyone and can be included in other documents without restrictions.

Also, it is not clear what is the benefit of submitting a FEP to W3C. I already submitted it to the FEP repository, and this was always enough for everybody, including major players like Mastodon and Lemmy. These task forces look like totally unnecessary bureaucracy, I don't really have time for that.

Group actors should have the maximum privileges because some actions may need to be performed by a Group actor rather than an admin or moderator actor. This may be necessary to protect moderators from retaliation, for example. Another use case for this is anonymous groups where all posts are attributed to a Group actor (example: Telegram channels).

Multiple admin actors are already allowed - in this FEP and in FEP-1b12.
