I don't think any governmental agency in the USA could host a public registration server on the Fediverse due to first amendment considerations. Perhaps more accurately they could but everyone would defederate due to moderation concerns.

You'd probably have to have a system where the government provided everyone a single user instance, which sounds like a logistical nightmare.

Not sure the Fediverse is designed for hundreds of millions of individual servers either, although maybe it is.

@ReverendMoose I think if they had their own server and don’t let others sign up for accounts on it.
