Quotations & the Fediverse / ActivityPub
1/
One thing I used to do a lot on social-media is — post quotations.
Sometimes I was reading a book. And, I would quote things from the book and post it on social-media.
Or I was reading a scholarly paper, or reading a blog post, or watching a video, or listening to a podcast, etc.
...
I was thinking — how could you represent a quotation in ActivityPub‽

I suppose there are 2 major approaches.
Either use an existing Object Type. Maybe:
type="Note"
Or create a new Object Type:
type="Quotation"
...
Here is the interesting thing though —

Apparently the Bookwyrm developer had the exact same idea!
(Which isn't too surprising.)

Apparently, Bookwyrm stores quotations with:
type="Quotation"
And if one Bookwyrm server talks to another Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Quotation"
...
BUT — if a non-Bookwyrm server talks to a Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:
type="Note"

In this thread, I was talking about a different type of quoting.
Quote-Posts are for quoting (really embedding) other social-media posts.
I was more talking about quoting blocks of text from books, scholarly papers, blog posts, video, podcasts, etc.

@reiver I think a <blockquote> element could be used:

A link to the original object could be added with FEP-e232.
