The technocrats want nothing more then to cast FUD on to federated platforms. Mastodon worked in their favor when it meant getting people away from right wing Twitter but no doubt they’d find a reason to turn on it later. Expect news reports about harmful misinformation spreading through federated sites.
I would be surprised if the establishment wasn’t doing stuff like this.

Why are people using that as an acronym now?
Is it just a crypto thing that people keep trying to make common?
I dont agree with anything you’re saying, I just want to know people keep trying to make FUD happen, it’s not going to happen.
FUD goes back to Microsoft during their embrace, extend, extinguish era. It was their game plan for killing open source.

I’ve seen the “FUD” acronym thrown around for a while to be honest, usually in the context of highlighting misinformation.
I don’t follow the crypto community though - i’m guessing they use it a lot more there for some reason?
I’ve heard it used for a long time.
At least since the 80s, I think it comes from that Far Side “Cat Fud” cartoon
