Hi @mike,
it really puzzles me, how people hand out content and expect it to be displayed as they intended. Even more so for 'rich' content other than `text/plain`. IMO one of the fallacies of #ActivityPub. (Besides unwarranted #complexity, naturally)

An interesting observation. I see this as a top-level post, and I wonder why you were addressing to @mike specifically. Is there more context to that, that I missed?

Ah, permission denied. It is not shown at all. Not in my mastodon UI, nor when opening your post in a new tab.

As for answering your question. With protocol-with-holes and without a "Solution development for the ActivityPub Semantic Web" robust guidance, it is impossible to make the most of the AP fedi.

The popular guides on the fedi are "Big ball of mud development" and "Whack-a-mole programming", so we should set expectations accordingly: Fediverse is sticky notes on the fridge, and the notes easily fall off.
