The article didn’t mention a protest, but the server being compromised due to some sort of unrelated charges was the main topic for a lot of the article

Important context missing from the EFF article is that the Mastodon instance wasn’t the target of the raid according to the admins.
In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social’s admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.

Very important context! The US is rapidly turning Christo-Fascist. I hate this country.
