I'm against banning things. It's better to teach users how not to use these platforms.

Just because there's deeper root causes, doesn't mean the end result shouldn't be banned if its immoral or destructive. In particular, we figure out what parts of it are problematic enough to be worth banning, and ban those: I.E. the heavily biased algorithm which users have no control over.

Aside from that, theres also the option of providing alternatives. Said alternatives don't even have to be publicly run. It could come in the form of something like a one-time grant to Mastrodon and opening up a server exclusively for government departments to share announcements or PR with the public.
