Oh my fucking god that's so embarassing

* Added safe-er way to unpack data from instances
   -> like, now we're passing only the fields that
      we really need, not just everything that was
      sent by out our instance. that fixes pleroma
      being weird and adding pleroma field to some
      of objects, which was causing KeyError to be
      raised. this should be fixed now but I'm not
      completely sure so that's why it's in unsafe
      branch of the project. oh wow also this comm
      message is looking funky. hahahahah. ok bai.
