If governments and news outlets began running their own servers in the fediverse, more users would learn of it and follow them into it. Believe it or not, there was a time before Twitter and people had to learn of it and gravitate on to that platform.

I love this part:

During the meeting, JOHN CHARLES EASTMAN admitted both options violated the Electoral Count Act.

Act 123. On or about the 4th day of January 2021, DONALD JOHN TRUMP and JOHN CHARLES EASTMAN met with Vice President Mike Pence, Chief of Staff to the Vice President Marc Short, and Counsel to the Vice President Greg Jacob in the Oval Office at the White House. During the meeting, DONALD JOHN TRUMP and JOHN CHARLES EASTMAN argued to Pence that he could either reject electoral votes from certain states or delay the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, the day prescribed by law for counting votes cast by the duly elected and qualified presidential electors from Georgia and the other states, for the purpose of allowing certain state legislatures to unlawfully appoint presidential electors in favor of DONALD JOHN TRUMP. During the meeting, JOHN CHARLES EASTMAN admitted both options violated the Electoral Count Act. This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
