Agreed. I hope a team of non-perverts and problematic people builds such a thing. Start a crowdfunding campaign, use open-source models and take the proper precautions.

Truly for what? How is Mastodon much better? So, politicians can be harassed ( they can stay where they are for that) or their servers defederated to hell and people lose access to those politicians?
