The instances are all the individual / independent servers that run Mastodon, which is the platform.

@dasjot @_elena @euronews The real irony is that control *is* freedom - We are in control, therefore we are more free.

@_elena @sharan Personally happy to draw ire from Fedi enthusiasts when it comes to government-run Social Media. Remember: social media needs to be moderated, and really the last thing that citizens should want is their government moderating speech, literally. You can (hopefully) trust your gov't now (sans USA), but what about in 10 years?

More than happy with the choice of people to choose which Fediverse instance they want to join, as long as in the end it's the Fediverse.

@_elena @luca There are some new details out on who is behind W Social, what they're doing etc. They have a fairly well connected advisory board of politicians and tech industry big wigs it seems (see quoted thread).
