I don't know who expected the fediverse to be the most secure and private network of the world.

It's a "independent" and open source social media platform. A better place to be than corporate social media. That's it.

I wouldn't even be surprised if it came out the FBI was hosting fediverse servers aimed at some crime. Like a instance dedicated to digital piracy.

This reminds me that they finance the Tor project (onion browser).

The Tor project was started by the governement in the first place for secure connections for the military and stuff anyway.

There's some fediverse that we can call it "the most secure and private" network. Not all of them, but yes.. the fallacy of pop culture understanding the fediverse hype by many people is too much. I agree..
