** Solving use cases in ActivityPub
TODO: Needs to be cleaned up and incorporated with the above section
*** Simple: sending a direct message
# - sending messages to a specific set of people (not a
# group/conversation)
# When we want to send a message to a set of people, we send it to their
# inbox, the @id of the object is the capability to view the current
# state of the object (ie, if polling it as opposed to if distributed by
# an Update activity)
# Difference from first example of ActivityPub spec: id/inbox is
# unguessable, and also that Alyssa may select a "preferred" inbox for
# Ben, if she has one (rather than the public/general one)
*** Curating a photo collection
# - creating a photo collection handing out the ability to edit it
# - using the edit permission
# - removing the permission on misbehavior
# Need a way in ActivityStreams to share with a user that they've been
# granted a capability
# When we send the capability, how should the user interface respond?
# Alternative cap: moderating a group of users
# Maybe this isn't a better alternative because talking about moderating
# a group of users' ability to *write* to the group would either look
# like an ACL, or involves looking up and revoking specific write
# capabilities of users... that's too complicated. Focus on just
# adding/removing objects from a collection.
# TODO: follow up with cap-talk about the activity that represents a
# grant of a capability for a specific purpose
*** Rights amplification for reply control
# - being able to control who can reply to a message
# how to revoke cleanly?
# => the unsealer isn't handed directly. Instead, a proxy is passed with
# the caretaker pattern (can be revoked)
*** Controlling who can send you messages
# - Being able to control who can send messages to you
# => having an inbox for a specific user with accountability +
# revocation
# => For public profiles, add the proper level of friction (moderator
# queue, stamps, bayesian or other content-based filter)
*** Managing a mailing-list like Group
# ### Use case number 5: managing a mailing-list like group
# Trickier part isn't who gets messages, but how to revoke write access
# without introducing an ACL group

Special thanks to the object capability community as a whole for
fielding and vetting many relevant ideas to OcapPub.
Mark Miller in particular gave a large amount of review and encouragement.
David Bruant sat on calls with me and took notes as I rambled my
thoughts out loud when this document had stalled.
Serge Wroclawski's [[https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot9-prague/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/ap-unwanted-messages.md][AP Unwanted Messages]] document preceded and helped
pave intellectual space for this document, as did our many calls about it.
And of course, thanks to the ActivityPub community and everyone who
has worked on the specification, implementations, has hosted instances,
or has enthusiastically used the protocol.
The federated social web is already exciting; I think it can be even more so.
I hope this document can help in that direction.
