I'm a big believer in "Do as I say, not as I did".
\nI could give a long list of technical reasons, which boil down to: nodeinfo is pretty nonsensical with the way I write stuff.
\nI think the above statement also addresses a main failure of the Fediverse. People, e.g. me, would love to fix stuff. Unfortunately, we lack the focus to address a lot of issues, e.g. nodeinfo sucks. So stuff gets done in a broken way.
\nI think the main challenge the Fediverse has faced, and failed at, is avoiding the above situation. To continue the example, there is no way for somebody to say: Let's fix nodeinfo and people will follow their ideas.
