What do privacy people have to do with keeping out bots?
Please don’t just mix different concepts together like this.
Because otherwise you’d be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that’s the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.
There will never be enough donations to cover the cost of hosting videos.
The simple reason is that most people here already use Firefox, but not most people here are already vegan.

That’s not what “federated” means. Please do not spread misinformation.

No, this is not correct at all! You keep limiting yourself to the terms “open source” and “closed source”.
Any code you create, you own by copyright. Even if it is public on GitHub, you’re still the lone copyright owner and no one is legally allowed to do with it what isn’t allowed by a license.
Projects on GitHub without an open source license are only “functionally open source” to the same extent that pirated games are “functionally free”.
Correct, you are allowed to click the “fork” button and nothing else. You’re still not allowed to download, use, modify, compile or redistribute the code in any way that doesn’t involve the “fork” button.
The industry takes advantage of open source projects that have permissive licenses. This is an important distinction.
If you didn’t release your code with a permissive license (or even with a license at all), you have rights that protect you and your code. The only issue is that copyright infringement can often be hard to prove if you didn’t plan ahead for it.
I’m seeing this misconception in a lot of places.
Just because something is on GitHub, doesn’t mean it’s open source. It doesn’t automatically grant permission to share either.

You can use whatever license you want. You can even go ahead and write your own license from scratch.
You’d only have to worry about enforcing the license, especially when you include such unorthodox terms and conditions.
Lemmy has its own API. Does this prove their ignorance of the standard too?
