dumpsterqueer, EN Mastodon got some PRs merged lately to update their HTTP signature behavior to include url query parameters in outgoing signatures, and to check for url query parameters in incoming signatures too
this is good news, since it works around an incompatibility that was occurring between GoToSocial and Mastodon when either tried to iterate + fetch replies from the other's posts
so it's not in a release yet, but when it is it will fix all those pesky code 401 dead jobs in Mastodon sidekiq

- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28476 - Mastodon PR (merged) implementing fallback checking for incoming signatures
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28788 - Mastodon PR (merged) implementing fallback signing for outgoing signatures
Once we update GoToSocial to also try both ways of creating + parsing signatures, the loop will be closed.
