(For anyone interested in addressing the issue of making the fediverse more friendly and open to simple, statically hosted nodes, I had a chat with the NLnet folks a few weeks ago, and they've mentioned an interest in funding the necessary R&D—i.e. specification and implementation. There are 50k EUR grant limits and they look for involvement of someone from the EU.)
