Just keep in mind that if it was a corporate social network - the difference would be
1) the FBI would send a letter not a raid
2) you wouldn't know it had happened
I can only find the twitter number but it looks like the FBI payed Twitter $3.5 million between Oct 2019 and Feb 2021

We don't know how many requests but that seems like not a small number
One of the biggest traps I see is that communication and effective action is called incompetence

When Chapters/Indigo took down their store after a ransomware attack my dad kept telling me how incompetent it made them seem. In my opinion, they are the only sensible store I've ever seen. After that I trust their team has the resources to do their job.

Sure, an instance got raided, but they did the right things afterward. And if you can tell me where I can find a remote instance with enough disk, ram, and cpu to figure out wtf on a prod DB, you let me know
