@haubles @bmann yeah I agree that there's quite a lot of value in providing digital infrastructure. Think its too early currently, too much fedi software is missing for it currently. Also hard to overcome negative associations. But I think an implementation where gov sets up a server with local news, and allows you to pseudo anonymously comment if you're verified would totally work. Needs more infra first tho. Similar to dutch edu system, youre anon but verified part of system
