Social web feature dream: The ability to relate (sets of) posts together to say "these posts are referring to the same thing".

I'd use this for these posts and their replies:

mas.to/@miblo/1113800676271448 by me
social.kernel.org/notice/Abq7z by @monsieuricon

Sure, we have hashtags, but they rather work to put the posts into a pool of others also bearing that hashtag. I'm thinking of drawing a line between specified posts to say they're related.

Does #ActivityPub already have this, I wonder? cc: @evan

@miblo @monsieuricon kind of! We've got link relations, which might be what works. We also have `tag`, which is more like "tagging someone in a photo" or "tagging a place" than just hashtags.

@evan @monsieuricon Oooh, great, thanks! Link relations (w3.org/TR/activitystreams-voca) as a "qualified relation" sound ideal, letting us express the strength of the relationship.

I actually have a little pipe full of these dreams (miblo.net/ppic_notes.html) and getting the sense that AP may have it all.
