Actor & object may be dereferenced by (ap-)api 2. The activity can be referenced itself (e.g. in order to express a result of the triggered action) 3. Star is a special case of a Like. Star only happens in ForgeFed context. Different things should be named differnt ... 4. With the `source` given it would be more easy to distinguish the uri layout for object and actor id's and make implementation more straight forward 1. The `source` field reflects the software sending an activity. Values of may be forgejo, gitlab, ... 2. Knowing the sending system will it make easier to interact with: 1. We know exactly how the actor can be derefernced (see: https://codeberg.org/meissa/forgejo/src/commit/7cac9806f8247963b1cdce3f2c5f5d1bc3763fbe/models/forgefed/actor.go#L121) 2. We know how we can validate the given references (see: https://codeberg.org/meissa/forgejo/src/commit/7cac9806f8247963b1cdce3f2c5f5d1bc3763fbe/routers/api/v1/activitypub/repository.go#L180) See also: 1.
