I hope more #ActivityPub implementations start properly handling JSON-LD documents in various forms, rather than using ad-hoc approaches like only allowing specific fields to accept both arrays and scalar values.

Or, just use a proper JSON-LD processor altogether. Of course, there would be a performance penalty. The #ActivityPub spec explicitly allows as:Public or bare Public for public addressing in to/cc, etc., but surprisingly many implementations don't handle this. All of this would actually be solved by using a JSON-LD processor.

ActivityPub

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

Honestly, I don't really care what strategy other #ActivityPub implementations follow to comply with the spec. (I solved it in #Fedify by just using a proper JSON-LD processor.) It's just a bit annoying that I always send valid JSON-LD documents, but whenever I encounter an interoperability bug where the other side can't process them, I'm the one who has to send them a patch to fix it. 😩
