Let's at least block the government agencies from using it in favor of open platforms and protocols to communicate with its citizens.

At least give me some good ole RSS in the backend, and they could host their own Mastodon instances that people can subscribe to from other public instances.

Yeah. When public services solely use Xitter or Facebook pisses me off. We can and should make that shit illegal.

Germany did this years ago. Their government hosts a mastodon instance for various agencies
