Mastodon question:
I want to export my private key from my mastodon instance (where I am not an admin). Is that possible?
The reason I want this is that I'm trying to learn about activitypub, and I want to make some activitypub requests using curl, and a lot of servers require authorized fetch with http signatures, and I want to make these requests on my own behalf, using my already-available public key from my webfinger profile.
