    I ment in the sense of this platform existing to avoid outside intervention. Or am I mistaken in thinking the whole point of a federated system is to avoid corporate and political intervention allowing a “truly” flee platform?

      Federated social medias were made in order to regive the power to the user away from the corporations more interested in making profit than keeping their userbase happy. This is quite leftist if you ask me. Indeed it also reduces the power that a government has on a platform, as centralization makes it easier to control, but this wasn’t the main goal. Just like linux, or FOSS in general
