### Detailed description
Per https://browser.pub/https://meta.discourse.org/ap/object/5874fad7df806caa1fe34c382c1d2991 the payload is as follows:

}
```
The only things that look potentially off to me are:
- The `Content-Type` header has a `charset=utf-8` parameter on it
- The addressee `https://meta.discourse.org/ap/actor/a1ba34f9dd25f8ad96ce6efcbfb931e5` is present in both `to` and `cc`
