@erincandescent @_elena @dgoldsmith @rysiek I'm not sure how FASP to instance should happen exactly, but I'm thinking AS2 representation probably makes a lot of sense here too.

@erincandescent @thisismissem @_elena @dgoldsmith @rysiek the current plan is for the instance to (batch) notify the FASPs with object identifiers, then the provider can fetch them (if they want: depending on freshness, deduplication blocklists…) and ferch them from the original inbox, from their own actor

@renchap @erincandescent @thisismissem @_elena @rysiek Please pardon my ignorance—I tried searching for "Mastodon FASP" and couldn’t find anything. What does the acronym stand for?
