How come these accusations aren’t thrown at piefed? Like it’s almost the exact same thing as lemmy just with more features like multi-community feeds, which could entice users over to piefed and leave current lemmy behind.

Or is EEE only EEE if it’s a corporation doing it?

But what data would federating give them that they couldn’t just get on the public internet right now? They could already scrape all of this from mastodon already if data was all that they’re after.

It’s not just data they’re after.
