Or someone would nationalize it.

Oh, the anti-vax broflakes and maga cult will vacate that thing in droves. If the right country 'owns' it - thinking Jacinda Ardern's government if we had a time machine, or just the UN now - then advertisers may come back. Or it may just exist as a cost-free platform for cat pics and tsunami/twister alerts.

Wait. Isn't that what we want? No halfwit conspiracy fucknuts, and a still-usable platform? Where do the bots using it for C&C fit into this?

Public spaces should be government owned. Each country could have its own public servers with a guaranteed spot for every citizen. People can cross post.

If you want anonymity you can have private servers too.

So what you’re saying is Lemmy needs lobbyists!

Honestly just ActivityPub. And being backed by the W3C id assume there already are discussions in countries where corruption is less prevalent.
