    Why there are always petitions to ban something, not to create something, like eu based social network everyone can join and use for free ?

      Found the market liberal.

      You ban stuff not because it is bad and you want something better. You ban stuff that is so bad that is actually harmful.

      The German government already has their own mastodon instance on social.bund.de

      Much better alternative to a EU funded social network, as this would automatically drive critics to the assumption, that politicians are controlling the narrative and deleting critical content. Also supports the development of open source and self hosted alternatives this way.
