The content is really bounded by tech stuff, but I guess that’s due to migration being important for tech-savvy users. It is true that appending “reddit” to search queries and following the results is still inevitable (but hey, libreddit and teddit still work).

Well, the malicious actors can setup their own instances as well and exploit the inherent trust between the participants by design. P2P sold as security property in the scenario where participants are unknown and multiple in numbers is misconception. It does not square well with basic security mindfulness, and shouldn’t be taken as improvement in that regard.
I think that federation and all this stuff is not about improving security, it is a form of grassroots communication based on certain principles. If you need security, you use other tools, and treat these things as public, hostile spaces.
