    I really want municipalities to spin up their own instances (or at least pay for hosted instances.)

    Imagine a world in which local (and larger) governments have their instances and don’t have to rely upon corporations like twitter. @mayor@sanfrancisco.city, etc.

      That’s a really cool idea. The internet has really done a number on local news, maybe a world where your social media infrastructure was run by your local municipality would change that. At minimum, it would give people an interesting way to interact with people in their community.
