Analyzing Effective Governance and Infrastructure Gaps in Medium-to-Large Sized Servers for Enhanced Social Networking

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.

        You all can downvote me but if you’re not interested in living in the land of facts, demonstrating any attempt at backdooring Fediverse products beyond “bad money in a think tank”, then there’s literally not even the smoke to indicate a fire.
