    Microsoft can still remove all copies.

    Whereas another instance can’t delete my account or comments from the instance I’m on. The most they could do is block it from theirs.

    E: no matter how much you downvote, it doesn’t change the facts. GitHub is not Federated. It is owned and controlled by Microsoft. If you fork a GitHub project and host it on GitHub, Microsoft can take both down.

      No it can’t. You’re still thinking about github and its built in “forking” mechanism.
