I think Activity Pub would work well if the federation servers were run by real towns / cities / states.

One of the things that I like about Movim[1] is that the servers that are currently running it are literally just named after countries.

If my town can uses tax money to run a server for all residents, I think that's pretty cool.

It feels more subsidiary. It maintains some amount of connection to the real world while also providing a genuine service. It feels more like a road or trash pick up service.
