the only way Eugen was able to implement ActivityPub (along with others) and create the fediverse as we know it today was because he was JUST using ActivityPub to re·implement an already‐existing, years‐old, mature federation model (OStatus). it wasn’t ActivityPub ex nihilo from first principles
there will NEVER be a successful ActivityPub ex nihilo from first principles instance, because ActivityPub alone simply does not provide enough of a model for you to do this
if you want to develop your own ActivityPub implementation which solves all these problems:
• good luck, and
• this is literally an impossible task for you to do on your own
this is a subtoot of all the people complaining that Mastodon instance moderators aren’t acting like the moderators of their hypothetical vaporware impossible ActivityPub implementation should act and are instead acting like the moderators of Mastodon instances

finally following up on this…
Here is the list of problems that our instance has identified with the Mastodon 4.0 upgrade, and how much work I think it will take to address these issues. I think we will probably want to fix all the things which aren’t labelled “Hard” before we merge in the latest changes here.
