The fundamental flaw in your observation here is that many lemmy instances (and piefed) aren’t exactly US-friendly in the first place and are federated up with every other instance. And many Piefed instances are run by non-Americans anyway.
whether or not it’s american doesn’t matter. piefed’s creator admited in an interview that one of the driving forces behind creating it was to control “content quality” of the fediverse.
this fact combined with w the fediverse’s undeniable leftist leaning makes it clear that this was a dog whistle along the same vein as other dog whistles like “narrative management” and “suppression protocols” that the epstein illuminati spoke about in their emails to each other with respect to reddit, 4chan and several other social media platforms.

Controlling “content quality” (you’re likely omitting a lot of context here) has nothing inherently to do with a pro/anti-american dichotomy.

Sorry, are you suggesting that rimu is some kind of secret state plant?
it’s odd that you keep bringing back this pro/anti-american dichotomy when i’ve already asserted that that 1) it has little to do w united states and 2) leftism defines the fediverse (which almost completely lacking in the united states, but this is a digression).
tldr of the video is that the ruling classes further along the careers and efforts of those that are already ideologically aligned or beneficial to them. the epstein illuminati reveled in their ability to do this on a global scale in the files and used phrases like “narrative management” when discussion platforms like reddit.

What specifically did Rimu mean by “content quality” then?

I don’t see what this has to do with Rimu specifically.
rimu’s efforts have been furthered along on reddit (like the epstein illuminati admitted to doing) and the most prominent endorsements for the fediverse on reddit now exclude the lemmyverse.
that combined with the dog whistle and with the fact that piefed explicitly bans leftists phrases and prominently leftist lemmy instances like hexbear in its source code leads to the conclusion the rimu is either a rightist or the kind of moderate that both trump and kamala harris were trying to get to vote for them.
i’m building upon a parallel that @Szewek@sopuli.xyz created between the lemmyverse and geopolitics.

the ones that are us-friendly are the lion’s share of the lemmyverse’s userbase and activity.
This is true (depending on your definition here, we’ll possibly agree to disagree) but piefed existing or not doesn’t change that.

despite his faults, chomsky already explains why plants are unnecessary (credit due to @davel@lemmy.ml for making me aware of this video).
