Exactly.

It's similar to how, here in HN comments, you cannot embed a giant 300MB javascript advertisement monstrosity. Or even just an image.

If people could do that, then the space would be destroyed by malicious actors.

What if we eliminate HN and do the communication P2P? Where author hosts own content. How can I as author still guarantee you as reader that I won't do that?

One answer is to publish over Gemini.

I wonder if instead of Minimal HTTP, it would have been more effective to create a Minimal ActivityPub instead.

I think if you want to further limit yourself than Gemini yet maintain some of the semblance of the existing modern web, you can go the Beaker Browser [1] route.
