[bug] Cannot federate with Mastodon's Authorized Fetch

[NyaaaWhatsUpDoc]

gotosocial has had authorized fetch since the beginning. you clearly have done next to no research here. gotosocial federates with authorized fetch mastodon, akkoma etc instances with no issues. if you have a specific bug related to federation with those servers you're free to raise it!

but we are absolutely not interested in going out of our way to be compatible with Threads. Meta are morally, fucking bankrupt.

I have debugged the code and logs . Both suggests authorized fetch is clearly misbehaving. I know gotosocial implemented something for this, this is why I added it as a bug, not feature request.

but we are absolutely not interested in going out of our way to be compatible with Threads. Meta are morally, fucking bankrupt.

Your documents says that the reason why there is not any flagship server is that you do not want to do the moderation and you are currently saying that you are not interested in with nature of ActivityPub. Is it your principle to use your work to force your ideological ideas to users? Maybe I should check to source code for any kind of server blocking...

if talk of not wanting to work with genocide enablers like Meta makes you worried that we're pushing an "idealogy", you're not someone we want contributing to the project.

Closed this since it's going nowhere fast.

As @NyaaaWhatsUpDoc mentioned, we've been federating successfully with authorized fetch instances for years now, and have put extensive work into debugging possible issues over those years. Our support for authorized fetch is documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/federating_with_gotosocial/#http-signatures and it's also mentioned in our readme here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/?tab=readme-ov-file#safety--security-features

As for threads, we've had an issue open for that here, which we've since closed as federation issues look like a bug on their side: #2491
