@hugh@ausglam.space it's because clients can't make any assumptions about ActivityPub data using the C2S model. They have to perform full client side parsing and linking, then figure out some way to display this graph structure of data they've been given. The fact of the matter is that ActivityPubs design is overly broad, and no client could account for this. So, instances implement an API offering a simple, watered down format, plus the benefit of having stability even if the software moves to another federation protocol down the line.
There's also the matter that almost all ActivityPub implementations do not store posts in their database as JSON-LD, instead they unmarshal the data from it and store it in a concise format. Reconstructing it for the purposes of C2S would be inefficient and clunky.

Boundaries:
- MDNI with lewd and/or flirty posts.
- Do not be sexual or flirtatious to me unprompted, unless we are good friends (following me or being mutuals on this account does not necessarily mean we are good friends).
- Do not make any sexual or unprompted comments about my birth genitals. I will block your ass on every account and platform.
- Do not call me "goals"- yes, I'm pretty, but there are things that I need to do still with my transition before I can be comfortable with my body. Treating me as a "goal" for your own transition nullifies my negative experiences with my body and objectifies me.
Any opinions expressed are my own and do not reflect those of my employer. If you know me professionally, no you don't- follow at your own peril.

RE: As far as I understand, most (all?) fediverse #ActivityPub software does not use the Client-to-server protocol from the specs (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#client-to-server-interactions) but rather use custom APIs instead.
