I would like to see Mastodon get a little pressure to support more of the standard, and others to follow suit.
I was thinking the other day about building a Fediverse location-sharing app (like Foursquare).
The vocabulary is all there (Arrive activity at a Place object being the most basic), but would it gain any steam if Mastodon didn't know what do with those other activities?
People would want to be able to cross-post to Mastodon, but Mastodon would just ignore it all, as would most other AP apps.

@danjones000 @evan It seems to me that we shouldn't be asking Mastodon to "support more of the standard," but rather insisting that Mastodon servers should do **less.** They should stop preventing clients from using the full set of standardized capabilities or experimental extensions. What the default Mastodon client supports is a different subject.
A compromise might be to have the Mastodon server provide the "original" version of something it rewrites -- in addition to the rewritten version.
