What would happen if ICE wanted to join the Fediverse? Most instances probably wouldn’t host that account, but some would. The account would be broadly blocked at both individual and instance levels, and some instances would probably defederate the hosting instance. Some folks would migrate between instances based on these choices. All this, I think, would be a good outcome?

@timbray My biggest hope during the whole early X fiasco would have been that federal and state governments would have set up government fediverse servers to disseminate information and alerts. I was saddened when the tide moved back towards walled gardens and partially open systems like Bluesky. I think it could have been a fun experiment in creative tools for public information dissemination and consumption.
