A very old discussion https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/16244786 and the current implementation that mastodon uses https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/lib/activitypub/forwarder.rb A server can forward a message to another server under certain conditions: - Addressed to the “public” i.e. to or cc has https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public - Has a json-ld signature If the message is a reply to a local account to forward the followers of that original poster.
