Why?
Maybe the thinking is that whatever that server was raided for may have been federated to other servers, making them also targets for FBI raids.
Edit: Looks like the admin was raided for participating in a protest and the Mastodon instance wasn't the target at all, in which case why did they take that data at all?
If you DM'd nudes to a Kolektiva user, the FBI now has it
That's why you get a big warning message informing you that DM's are not encrypted and thus not secure.
