Weird bug in #Akkoma and #Mastodon interaction, thought #FediStaff / #Staff, #FediDev, and #FediMod / #Moderation people might want to see this.

Got a #report about a user saying things that were upsetting people, noticed it was from another instance, realized that I had access to the actual account that had sent it. Not sure what this is or why, didn't even realize #ActivityPub supported signed reports (I'd honestly like to get more), but obviously that's a risky thing if they didn't know it was happening and didn't know why.

Does anyone know what this is?

Screenshot of reply: they're on Akkoma, don't know why it happened, and don't seem to have experience with how Mastodon handles multi-instance reporting.
Screenshot of my reply, explaining the situation. See post above for the gist.
