Hi @funkwhale ! Maintainers of #funkwhaleIt claim that their "funkwhale dot it" instance is "approved and listed among the instances suggested by [Funkwhale] devs in [your] official website"
1- Would you mind to comment on that?
2- Does their use of Funkwhale assets in the DNS, favicon, header, and other pictures comply with your identity guidelines?

the "elephant (the whale?) in the room" is https://funkwhale.it itself and the the metadata on both the #mastodonuno accounts @funkcastmusicwhale and @funkwhale linking to #funkwhaleit
apart from #funkwhale #brandjacking, the wording is misleading "Funkwhale.it is an independent project run by the community of Italian enthusiasts of funkwhale.audio, which let you listen to and share music and podcasts etc." / "Welcome to Funkwhale Italia! The funkwhale Italian instance"
