saranix the problem isn't the consumption of webfinger, it's the requiring of it. Bottom line is, it is not in the activitypub spec. I don't think it was ever even being considered for inclusion but if it was, we all voted against it and approved a spec without it. So for mastodon to require it is a big *expletive* to all of us who worked on the protocol and approved what got approved
