Does context in AP have to be a collection, or can be be like a Flag activity? Say I wanted to Create(Note) about a Flag I'd received, I'd need:

1) A way to address the remote moderation team (moderation group actor)

2) A way to say "this note is about this Flag activity", using inReplyTo would feel weird here, but maybe context would work?

@thisismissem semantically, yes, it can be a flag or anything else you want. Functionally, for real world implementations? 🤷‍♀️

I'm trying to think through what letterbook would do, and I suspect it would do the right thing. At least at the point of receiving the message. I would need some logic in reports to connect them back to that context, but i think that's likely to be straight forward

@thisismissem what I really want is context to be

1. A stable identifier that I can index
2. An indicator of whether and how reply control is implemented
3. A collection of related content-like objects, if reply control is implemented

In that order.

I think using a Flag (or its ID) satisfies that

@jenniferplusplus yeah, I don't think we'd have a collection for notes on a flag though, because the notes would be directly addressed to group actors for the moderation teams

Only use case I could think of is maybe inviting another moderation group actor to the thread of notes on a Flag, but that feels a bit weird with permissions.

@jenniferplusplus also, in Mastodon I'm probably separating the Flag activities from the report as one Flag activity can now generate multiple Flag activities with varying content (user forward vs mod forwarded with content overwritten)
