It's software that also serves as a method to distribute and access it. But ultimately, it doesn't matter, the resulting pushback will be the same.

The conclusion of the study was basically that the biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.

Wherever this shit exists, unwanted attention and scrutiny will follow, while the reputation of the platform will be harmed.

This will literally do nothing, the people conducting the study obviously have absolutely no idea how federation and the fediverse in general work...

And the big Players will be thrown out by everyone else, we are here because we hate them.

Mastodon = Server hoster

Mastodon = Responsible for content

Mastodon = able to moderate

Mastodon ≠ Server hoster

Mastodon ≠ Responsible for content

Mastodon ≠ able to moderate
