Note 1: lemmy uses 'Page' for a post, and 'Note' for a comment, whereas mastodon uses 'Note' for both, with 'inReplyTo' distinguishing between the two.
Note 2: this is sent to the main community at remote.com, and also to the post's author (it would appear in his inbox if they weren't the same person)

freamon creates a post in the interesting community. He adds a title, a body, links to an image, and tags it as in English.

freamon changes his mind about post 2, and undoes his downvote

  },
  "type": "Undo",
  "audience": "https://remote.com/c/interesting"
}

Note: due the expection of unique 'id' fields, the encapsulated object isn't the same, so this is probably best read as 'undo vote'

The interesting community came with 2 posts. freamon upvotes post 1, and downvotes post 2

freamon changes his mind. He doesn't want to subscribe anymore

{
  "@context": [
    "https://join-lemmy.org/context.json",

  ],
  "actor": "https://local.com/u/freamon",
  "to": [

  "object": {

    "to": [

    "object": "https://remote.com/c/interesting",
    "type": "Follow",
    "id": "https://local.com/activities/follow/c934a27e-0dad-4641-85f5-a83e04d672a4"
  },
  "type": "Undo",
  "id": "https://local.com/activities/undo/a9047cfc-ed0e-49c2-86da-9a0b3dbdc463"
}

Note 1: lemmy expects these 'id' fields to be unique, so the encapulated 'Follow' isn't the same as the one that was sent.
Note 2: lemmy also sends a Undo/Follow if you block a community

I realise that Lucas has said that the ewoks in Return of the Jedi were representations of the North Vietnamese. If you look at Rogue One, though, Saw's men are called terrorists, they use IEDs, it's a desert environment ... so the Rebels are, um, ISIS? Who do we want to win again?

Star Wars has always been too flakey to say Rebels are definitely this, or the the Empire are definitely that. It's popularity, and it's use by people on any part of the political spectrum as a a recruitment tool, depends on the fact that the US is magically both.

Star Wars is often "Schrödinger's Political Allegory" - the Empire is British/Roman/German but also American (if Endor = Vietnam, and Jedha = the Middle East), but the Rebels are somehow American too. Whatever side you're on, you can use Star Wars to cast yourself as the good guy, and the other side as the baddies.

... which many countries don't have, because 'First Past the Post' systems naturally lead to only 2 viable choices.

They'll also be an election coming up soon in the UK - I can choose between 'Sensible Conservative' or the currently ruling 'Lunatic Conservative', but anything else would be a wasted vote.

Hmm, you've just bridged some content from BlueSky to the Fediverse ... Haven't you heard? We're supposed to be burning those bridges.
