   Do you ever wonder how many fediverse accounts are actually C2 beacons using the distributed fediverse for resiliency?

   Yeah, me neither.

     "an alien species has taken over the internet and are sending out signals that control and subvert human thought so that they can rule the planet"

     fediverse: "that's horrible! it's evil!"

     "all the signals are in the form of cute cat videos"

     fediverse: "oh. well that's ok then."
