I'm surprised that no one has used ActivityPub to federate block and allow lists.

I'm surprised that no one has used ActivityPub to federate block and allow lists. All they are is a collection of actors. Even the instances themselves could be classified as a Service (which is a type of actor).

@bryan this is being worked on by Mastodon and is in the roadmap.

@bryan @smallcircles I did look into the viability of this, but ultimately decided against it due to addressing issues and lack of appropriate activity & object types — would've basically been inventing an entirely new vocabulary on top of AP.

@[email protected] @[email protected] It seems like it could be as easy as a collection of actors on another field like following currently is. It would break the spec, but a few fediverse apps do that already.

@thisismissem @bryan @smallcircles that's absolutely the right thing to do! It's an extensible protocol. Also, I think the `Block` activity is fine for this situation.

@thisismissem @bryan So, that being said, does that mean it should no longer be on the roadmap?
Wondering because I also replied to the post thinking that it was still being looked into.
Thanks ahead of time.
