"Forward" same-protocol deliveries? #613

Open snarfed opened 1 year ago

Hit an interesting edge case just now. I tried to like https://indieweb.social/@gregorlove.com@gregorlove.com/110794731120430327 via BF, but it correctly detected that that post was bridged, and the source and original target (https://gregorlove.com/2023/07/this-is-awesome/ ) were on the same protocol, web/webmention, so it declined to do anything. Good, ok.

However, it could go one better and "forward" this by sending it natively to the original target. Ie, it could send a webmention from my like (https://snarfed.org/2023-08-11_gregor-morrill-this-is-awesome-a-right-wing-indieweb-social ) to the original target. Those posts are both native web, but sending that webmention arguably matches my intent in spirit. Maybe ok?

There are equivalents in other same-protocol delivery too, eg BF could do AP inbox delivery for original AP posts, even when neither the post nor the inbox(es) are on BF. Same with Nostr, Bluesky, etc.

I think it would be okay as long as it is done in a way to prevent duplicates.
