          I understood the reference, but if we’re going by that logic, the Fediverse itself is a federal ploy.

              Then Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, Bookwyrm, Pixelfed, Loops, Peertube, all made from disparate developers from around the world, are all one US Federal plot?

              Why would they prefer a decentralized, difficult to control social media network over the centralized ones that are already entirely under the control of right-wing billionaires?

                No one said they prefer it, but they’re also not going to ignore it, because they want to maintain their dominance of the public discourse. Previously. Previously. Previously.

                Though with that said, I doubt PieFed is an op. Some people are so propagandized that they’ll do the work for free and without any direct involvement. Some people are just that “patriotic”.1
