I only see one issue: authority. Bridge administrators have no authority to share ActivityPub posts. They are just random Joes reposting somebody else's content with no associated responsibility or reputation. There's nothing giving the bridge version of the posts legitimacy. If there was then all of the problems I brought up would be solved simultaneously.
Can you explain what DHT means? And isn't DNS's only job to associate a URL with an IP address? Are Pubky's authority mechanisms compatible with ActivityPub?
