This is an argument for having everyone decentralized rather then together in massive content silos.

Yes, if everyone is together it is much easier for misinformation to spread

If a Russian content farm was to try and get a message out would it be easier if they made one post seen by millions or thousands of posts seen by a few thousand people

Even Lemmy mods know federation is a bad thing because their answer to preventing the above is defederating
