@newt@stereophonic.space Do people even care about this dude?

It's not about favicons per se — I can see what he's coming at, getting an extra request with every page request when it comes to something as minimal as Gemini does make a difference and this is a valid concern.
It could've be handled differently, e.g. requesting favicon.txt only when you're adding the page to bookmarks — makes perfect sense as you don't see the favicon anywhere else.

And I'm pretty sure that's exactly what would have happened — trivial to implement, had he not taken his usual "bullying the one I don't agree with into submission stance".
He's not wrong about a lot of things — he's just poor at handling real people and sadly, he's not the only one like that 😩
