Oh god, I did it again. I looked at the comments on a HN post.

ActivityPub can be confusing and/or hard to test or develop against.

I started a new side project called FediDB to help Pixelfed and other implementations debug federation issues.

It will be launching soon, need to test DMs and Federated Stories in Pixelfed 😅

I'm eager to work with other projects on this!

Reminder that the CA system was designed in the mid 1990s "in a series of 4AM decisions" and is really not all that good.

For example, in your s2s XMPP communications do you really want the Chinese government as a trusted third party? It's probably bundled in there by default.
