    I find that a bit unsettling, government bodies spying on us is not what I envisioned for the fediverse

      They aren’t spying on you in this case. That is just media outreach about changes, policies and other stuff. And if fediverse is the future why governments shouldn’t be in it. just like majority of politicians are on twitter.

      Real spying happens by europol or polish goverment buing pegasus software to spy on opposition (that really happend)

        Is it the future? I personally like the fediverse because is private and intimate. Having the government on it kinda is uncomfortable, just like big tech

          Maybe it feels private and intimate but it isn’t. Fediverse and decentralization is the future because you can’t grow into infinity. There needs to be a period of optimization and big tech outgrown it’s lifespan. Google doesn’t provide useful searches, Facebook is for messaging with grandma, twitter is run by a clown, reddit is doing IPO in most stupid way, tumblr isn’t relevant, nvidia abandoned consumer GPUs, Samsung an Apple glued their phones shut without any innovation. Big tech is bloat.

          Also government has different goal than big tech. Government want’s to be elected so it wants to be pleasing to 51% of population and by crating “ads”/“content” in fediverse it can achieve that. Big tech wants money and fediverse is a competition for them so they want to extinguish fediverse in all possible ways.
