the "elephant (the whale?) in the room" is https://funkwhale.it itself and the the metadata on both the #mastodonuno accounts @funkcastmusicwhale and @funkwhale linking to #funkwhaleit
apart from #funkwhale#brandjacking, the wording is misleading "Funkwhale.it is an independent project run by the community of Italian enthusiasts of funkwhale.audio, which let you listen to and share music and podcasts etc." / "Welcome to Funkwhale Italia! The funkwhale Italian instance"
their use of the definite article - the/[dal]la or l'/la/die community/instance - instead of the indefinite - a(n)/una or un'/une/eine community/instance - suggests official affiliations or that they are the sole chapter of the Italian region/language
that is a recurring anti- #fediverse pattern by #devol and his leader #filippodb for any of the projects they run
they fake #grassroots activities but they are #astroturfinghttps://qua.name/diorama/software-identity-predatory-strategies-fediverse
