The offending code is here:

statuses =
  Enum.map(status_ap_ids, fn
    act when is_map(act) -> Activity.get_by_ap_id_with_object(act["id"])
    act when is_binary(act) -> Activity.get_by_ap_id_with_object(act)
  end)

It's trying parse the status IDs from the Flag activity, but one of them is nil, so there's no match.

I found the offending report in the database and it looks like this:

{
  "cc": [],
  "id": "https://spinster.xyz/activities/******",
  "to": [],
  "type": "Flag",
  "actor": "https://spinster.xyz/users/******",
  "state": "closed",
  "object": [
    "https://poa.st/users/******",
    null
  ],
  "content": "",
  "context": "https://spinster.xyz/contexts/******",
  "published": "2021-03-05T00:00:00",
  "context_id": 123456
}

As you can see, the "object" field contains a null value... how? I don't really know. I guess we should prevent this from happening in the first place if we can, but we should also handle the circumstance where a null value is in there.
