Due to JSON-LD compaction the full address of public scope
may also occur in shorter forms and the spec requires us to treat them
all equivalently. To save us the pain of repeatedly checking for all
variants internally, normalise inbound data to just one form.
See note at: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#public-addressing
This needs to happen very early, even before the other addressing fixes
else an earlier validator will reject the object. This in turn required
to move the list-tpye normalisation earlier as well, but since I was
unsure about putting empty lists into the data when no such field
existed before, I excluded this case and thus the later fixing had to be
kept as well.

The API parameter is not a timestamp but an offset.
If a sufficient amount of time passes between the tests
expires_at calculation and the internal calculation during processing
of the request the strict equality assertion fails. (Either a direct
assertion or indirect via job lookup).
To avoid this lower comparison granularity.
literally nothing uses C2S AP, and it's another route into core
systems which requires analysis and maintenance. A second API
is just extra surface for potentially bad things so let's take
it out back and obliterate it
"id" is used for the canonical link to the AS2 representation of an object.
"url" is typically used for the canonical link to the HTTP representation.
It is what we use, for example, when following the "external source" link
in the frontend. However, it's not the link we include in the post contents
for quote posts.
Using URL instead means we include a more user-friendly URL for Mastodon,
and a working (in the browser) URL for Threads
previously we would uncritically take data and format it into
tags for static-fe and the like - however, instances can be
configured to disallow unauthenticated access to these resources.
this means that OG tags as a vector for information leakage.
_technically_ this should only occur if you have both
restrict_unauthenticated *AND* you run static-fe, which makes no
sense since static-fe is for unauthenticated people in particular,
but hey ho.
Per the XRD specification:
> 2.4. Element <Alias>
>
> The <Alias> element contains a URI value that is an additional
> identifier for the resource described by the XRD. This value
> MUST be an absolute URI. The <Alias> element does not identify
> additional resources the XRD is describing, **but rather provides
> additional identifiers for the same resource.**
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/xri/xrd/v1.0/os/xrd-1.0-os.html#element.alias, emphasis mine)
In other words, the alias list is expected to link to things which are
not just semantically the same, but exactly the same. Old user accounts
don't do that
This change should not pose a compatibility issue: Mastodon does not
list old accounts here (See e1fcb02867/app/serializers/webfinger_serializer.rb (L12))
The use of as:alsoKnownAs is also not quite semantically right here
(see https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#dfn-alsoknownas, which defines
it to be used to refer to identifiers which are interchangable) but
that's what DID get for reusing a property definition that Mastodon
already squatted long before they got to it
The newest git HEAD of MIME already knows about APNG, but this
hasn’t been released yet. Without this, APNG attachments from
remote posts won’t display as images in frontends.
