    This is where the fediverse could shine. For example, the House of Representatives could have a server, and each member would have a username on that server. Much like how email currently works. It wouldn’t be beholden to the whims of a corporation.

      Exactly. Like a state-run online community moderated by federal or state workers. That way it would still be kept on-topic but (hopefully) without the power-tripping that usually happens with free-market moderators.

      Ideally there’d be some kind of supervisor/admin above them that they’d report to.

      But again, run by the state and not a company.
