Yes, this is the type of blinders on thinking that activitypub users sometimes have. Take them off and look at a real minimalistic protocol like webmention https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://indieweb.org/Webmention https://indieweb.org/Webmention . It is possible to send and receive without any complex application at all. Also, it's weird that you say I'm "completely wrong" given the uncontroversial single claim I made about the cryptographic signing being what makes it complex. Since you wrote a client you have to know this is true even if you disagree with the 'complex' bit. Unless you just used a module that did it for you? https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/python.png https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/python.png
