it would be cool if this toot reached a lot of different fediverse implementations (boosts welcome)
@dashie no, it's exceedingly lawful here 😩
i just rewrote the HTTP Sigs verifier, checking that it still works and checking whether we could safely enforce stricter settings now without breaking compatibility with older stuff

- some Mastodon instances do not render their instance actor for some reason
