  1. There is no standardized way to communicate "mutuals" as a group between instances. Comparatively, there is one for "public".
  2. You cannot easily tell whether your mutuals are the same as another server's list of mutuals, so there's a reliability guarantee that is hard to satisfy.

These are solvable problems, but sadly it isn't as low hanging as it initially seems 😅

... but sometimes people just want to express frustration and don't want to hear reasons, so let me know if you'd like to hear it.
