query: how hard could it be to make an activitypub server software, really?

@catgirl_so for each minute of troubleshooting, this question becomes more serious

it's just pushing json blobs around over http. this unit predicts a majority of internet traffic involves pushing json blobs around over http. surely it's not that bad

@catgirl_so

@catgirl_so except the JSON blobs have no defined format and you have to support like 15 different layouts of the same data to federate

Or just implement JSON-LD correctly

@julia this unit hoped you would see this note, because it recalls you know exactly how bad it is. it hopes these notes didn't come off as [serious, minimizing your pain as a sharkey dev]

and yet the urge to try anyway remains

@catgirl_so was much more concerned on initially seeing this than necessary ehehe
