@mekkaokereke Just about every non-obvious improvement to Mastodon or ActivityPub would seem to carry an additional trust requirement, either implicit or explicit.

One of the great joys of the current protocol is anyone with a little motivation can spin up an instance. The only gates are a DNS entry and some sort of compute and an internet connection.

Much more and things start to require trust relationships between servers which crushes out the little guy.
