(#zbsrabq) In other words, choosing to follow an actor does not follow the same model as Yarn/Twtxt does, where we then decide to "fetch" their feed. In fact it's the other way around, you end up telling server X that you're interested in actor Y, and servers X will then "push" stuff back to you. You can see how this can lead to some of the infamous DoS behaviours that can occur in the wild ๐คฃ

(#zbsrabq) @marado Well, the reality is that you cannot actually control this too well. Because of the push model of Activity Pub you have to a) trust that the servers you are interacting with are both correct and not malicious and b) have to send `Undo+Follow` activities to actors you no longer want to follow (missing right now)
Problem that I've found in practise however is that even for a tiny pod (used for development) I'm seeing interacting with servers I never interacted with (ever).
