Documentation

A signed question directed at a specific account (ask-me-anything style). Not pooled. This is public speech by the asker, equivalent in visibility and accountability to a mention: it is publicly readable from the moment it is created, whether or not the recipient ever answers. There are no anonymous directed questions. The recipient is never obligated to answer; nothing appears in the recipient's repo unless they choose to respond, and AppViews should only route asks to recipients who have asks enabled and have not blocked the asker.

Properties

createdAt string datetime Required

An RFC 3339 formatted timestamp.

lang string language Optional

Language of the question text.

subject string did Required

The DID of the account this question is directed at.

The question text. If answered, the recipient's answer embeds a snapshot of this text; attribution of the asker is resolved live from the answer's reference, so deleting this record degrades attribution to '[deleted]' without hollowing out the answer.
