A neat way would be to re-use one the 200 already existing standards like rel="author"
or even rel="me"
(which mastodon already supports anyway). This solution just is just NIH-driven development.

Theoretically they can, in practice it’s less than ideal. And that doesn’t solve all the other distros or the combinatory explosion of supporting several distros and versions.
Flatpaks on the other hand give you a single runtime of your choice to worry about (though they still have lots of cons too).
Until they drop it for flatpak as they did all NIH-driven products.
Probably because PPAs only work on Ubuntu and there are more Linux distros and even then it meant having to build and test a package for a couple of different Ubuntu versions.
He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
There’s no reason why 114MB of static content over 5 minutes should be an issue for a public facing website. Hell, I probably could serve that and the images with a Raspberry Pi over my home Internet and still have bandwidth to spare.
I think they are throwing stones at the wrong glass house/software stack.
How the fuck is no one in jail over this?
I think he means he’s running the name server for his zone (i.e. the authority for subdomains of his domains), which of course doesn’t help if the top level domain gets suspended and the NS record gets deleted.
There’s also no guarantee that the rel=me points to a fediverse instance, mastodon already has logic to deal with thus without reinventing the wheel with what’s effectively a proprietary solution.
