If viable either financially or logistically, this is just overly excessive and pushes people away from the Fediverse.

Sure. But social media is becoming a nightmare. It’s literally destroying democracy. As things stand, I’m not even convinced the fediversal version is an improvement. And if it’s not, then personally I don’t care how many people are pushed away. In as far as technical fixes are possible to the myriad problems of social media, I believe these might be a couple of them. That’s all I’m saying.

Pushing people aware from the Fediverse over crippling posting standards does nothing whatsoever for the wider negative impacts of social media.

My dude, my main account server got down while I am posting and commenting and you want them to even invest more in crawlers.
Think simpler, the fediverse is suffering from lack of resources.

Sure. But in theory, with (slightly) better resources, this would be my solution.
