    How else would you pretend to be federated besides saying you’re federated when you aren’t?

      Where did they say that? I’m not claiming they didn’t, I just haven’t heard about it.

        So, non-federated means one company/organization has full control over some product/service/website (like Twitter, Reddit, etc).

        Federated means that individuals can independently run instances of some product/service/website, and all those instances can talk to one another and share/sync data (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc).
