I find it ironic that the author supports "cancel culture", and also proceeds to write this:

One the call, I was surprised to find myself facing four people. The previous call had been with just one, and suddenly being so greatly outnumbered made me feel very intimidated.

Isn't this basically what cancel culture is too? To some extent, anyway.

My issue with federation is that so far, everything still requires some centralisation. Take Matrix for instance. The most popular homeserver by a long, long shot is the one that the Matrix foundation runs themselves. This is same for Mastadon, PeerTube, etc. If you let this experiment play out long enough, you end up with a de facto centralised system.

Yeah this was Gagron's fault. Running a flagship instance was bound to result in this. I make it a point to educate people about not joining mastodon.social and finding another instance that better suits their interests.

Haha, guess I should've been more specific. We zoomers you know… :)

For starters, the purpose of this post was never to build an entire framework, like the one you’ve linked, but rather a small set of scripts to try and understand what disassemblers do under the hood. These scripts can also be tossed into some kind of automation pipeline of sorts, something like a CI/CD perhaps. There's a lot you can (potentially) do.

And your second question, I'm not sure I understand what you're attempting to convey.
