Good morning Fediverse. Now for a short architectural overview of the Fediverse:

Actors push Activities to each other.
The outbox allows us to recover what an Actor pushed, i.e. poll.
LinkedData says that, we follow links, i.e. we pull Objects from other people.

Documents like W3C ActivityPub confuse this simple picture by creating a fake divide between C2S and S2S, or as I like to call it incoming vs outgoing message handling.

Having an unclear architecture means that the standard is dictated by the biggest elephant in the room.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mymath.rocks/objects/e8ff3a2c-35ee-4976-8d09-4ed11736aeee on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
