While technically this did happen and we're doing it rn, I still agree that it's a really good idea!
Do you think there's a world, that didn't happen, in which social media was built into an internet protocol?
So, meaning... individuals release comments, blogs, video, music, etc from a single source. And then social media acts as the feed, not the host. Similar to how RSS worked, and email works.

@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted.
Hours later, you said it was a mistake.
Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.)
Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?
