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"
