I’ve build my new toy bovine with fediverse-pasture and it allows me to mess around with this kind of stuff.

To follow the instructions, get the fediverse-pasture and start mitra via

docker compose --file fediverse-pasture/mitra.yml up

Then from the compose file on the tutorial for bovine start the repl

docker compose run repl

If one runs the following commands:

>>> note = {
    "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
    "id": "http://bovine/example.com",
    "type": "Person",
    "preferredUsername": "test",
    "inbox": "https://example.com/inbox",
    "content": "<p>I am so sorry.</p>",
    "attributedTo": "http://bovine/milkdrinker",
    "to": "http://mitra/users/admin",
}
>>> await actor.post("http://mitra/users/admin/inbox", activity_factory.create(note).build())
<ClientResponse(http://mitra/users/admin/inbox) [202 Accepted]>
<CIMultiDictProxy('Content-Length': '0', 'x-content-type-options': 'nosniff', 'content-security-policy': "base-uri 'self'; connect-src 'self'; default-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'; img-src 'self' data:; manifest-src 'self'; media-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self'", 'Vary': 'Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers', 'Date': 'Sun, 20 Oct 2024 07:39:29 GMT')>

One creates a valid Activity in mitra by @silverpill see:

This is a consequence of Mitra using duck typing to parse arriving objects (AFAIK). It couldn’t hand the "type": ["Note", "Person"].

I’m done playing with my toys now.
