More ActivityPub fun facts!
The way that sharedInbox works is not the way that people seem to assume that it works.
People assume that there is one sharedInbox per server or other such conceits, but that is nowhere in the spec and there are other reasons one might have a sharedInbox than just public, server addressing.
Mastodon—at least as of late last year—also does not implement it correctly per the spec, but more sensibly to what one actually would want (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/28483).
