"sharedInbox endpoints SHOULD also be publicly readable OrderedCollection objects containing objects addressed to the Public special collection..."
w3.org/TR/activitypub/#sharedI…

I disagree with this SHOULD, would downgrade to a MAY.

Minor, mainly because consider a small instance, whose users do not show their Following collections, this could basically leak who the follows are.

That said, I haven't found any Software that does have a publicly readable sharedInbox!

#ActivityPub

in reply to django

W3C ActivityPub is not of high enough quality for the RFC 2119 words to make sense in it.

It is fine to use it as a primer for how stuff works. However, reading it and drawing conclusions on how the Fediverse works is mostly a lost cause.
