Found on HackerNews, sums up my biggest Fedigripe:

The C2S part of ActivityPub is, to put it mildly, cumbersome. It also shifts way too much logic to the client and prevents an efficient database design.

There can, theoretically, be a "dumb" AP server that implements both S2S and C2S and expects the client to do all the heavy lifting. In practice, all current ActivityPub servers are "smart". They treat the S2S protocol as more of an API, and have their own web UI with a specific user experience. ⌘ [Read more](https://mstdn.social/@shreyan/110884276957280053) 2023-10-05T04:25:09Z ****
