As he goes on the main criticism becomes that it is too complex to ever succeed at being more than it is. The evidence of this is besides his own experience the projects that failed when integrating with activitypub for federation. Personally I tried to dig into the protocol a few years back and found at least at the time that the documentation was indeed very bad and my only option was basically to read the mastodon repositories. So I think there is something to it but I definitely agree that the insults are detrimental to the point.
