    I dunno if the government should be babying us by banning it because I’m sure a replacement would just spring up immediately anyway.

    Maybe they should just go after the dumbasses who spread misinformation or promote violence to the best of their ability. Oh but definitely make government agencies and officials stop using the platform though.

        I see what you mean. Even if we ban it, the toxic users would find another platform, but we could hurt Musk’s bottom line by making the users migrate. In that case, then, I’m not so opposed to the ban.

          The Canadian government could even set up their own Mastodon server and disallow public sign-up, ensuring that fakes could be easily spotted.
