#Mastodon doesn't speak valid #ActivityPub: a thread that really should have been a blog post.
(but see reply from @Gargron, it's more valid than I thought!)
Whatever protocol Mastodon uses, it's not spec-conforming ActivityPub. And this forces the rest of the #Fediverse to mimic its limitations. I learned this after painful trial and error.
ActivityPub is JSON-LD, which, like XML, uses URI namespaces. But it does more than that: a JSON-LD `@context` can map *any* name to *any* URI.
