Which would be better - open instances in each country where the state ( country and regional/s) is a participant along with its citizens? Or instances where the state and its infinite power is private and above the people the state would govern? My reaction is not to a state using mastodon nor twitter for that matter. My reaction is to a state running mastodon separate from the people.
