His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.

I don't use Mastadon cause I don't care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.

WebRTC could be used to provide peer-to-peer streaming. The load on the servers would be very minimal since the feeds would be sent directly from the host to the viewers. A lot of live streaming and video conferencing apps already use it to keep their hosting costs down.

The downside is that the IP address of the viewers will be exposed, even over a VPN unless precautions are taken by the user or the application.

And HTTP/2 can be used to provide video steaming, but that doesn't mean that nginx will be the next YouTube. This isn't a question of technical feasibility, but project focus. Though, I must admit, I don't follow the development of fediverse software all that closely, so maybe it is on the roadmap.
