Three months ago I posted about the Atlantic Council’s interest in the controlling the fediverse: https://lemmy.ml/post/6641106

I think these projects are the continuation of the successful American “intelligence community” censorship of corporate social media platforms. They even tried to formalize the system two years ago as the Disinformation Governance Board.

so you agree the only instances that can be compromised are ones that choooose to do so.

i think most of what you wrote here is wrong, and i have about as much to back it up as you do.

The ones that don’t choose to may eventually find themselves defederated from the ones that do. We’ll get walled off from the large instances that “play ball”.

let me rephrase.. your conjecture is unfounded, and hyperbolic.

Good. It's better to have more instances, than larger instances (see: Reddit, Threads).
