Having worked on HMD optical designs, lenses can be designed to tolerate a wide variation of users with some degradation that isn’t too bad, but if you want to maximize stuff like field of view and brightness and other things, you can end up with a tiny spot that the eyes need to be in. If they’ve decided to do a more optimized lens design, they might have more strict eye box requirements.
Some of these issues can be Apple and Google’s fault since they control subscriptions if you buy through the app, but the company that makes the app controls your subscription if you subscribed outside of it. So it might be against the App Store terms of service to allow you to unsubscribe from inside the app. There’s a hidden setting on iOS to control all subscriptions which can be better or worse depending on your perspective.

I think that’s more a solution to figure if out who you are than a solution to figuring out what things are reflected off your eyes.
Couldn’t any instance or app do this already? Like #peertube does videos in a way that isn’t necessarily fully federated with #mastodon. We get partial functionality everywhere and some places will have some extra things. If it is popular enough, then add it to the standard and let everyone who wants it add the functionality.
Do you mean to tell me that a website called “boing boing” isn’t only written by the utmost professional of journalists?
The process to open a link on your home instance is just way too complicated right now. Some sort of browser presence could help redirect users to the right places.
