If it helps garner any hope, there are former MPs and MLAs on the fediverse, and two candidates in the NDP leadership election have made accounts there and regularly post.

Elbows Up Digital has a tracker and campaign to get politicians onto the fediverse: https://elbowsupdigital.ca/
The real hope is here among us - in creating and supporting an organic alternative. Only an NDP government may provide real material boost to our efforts that don’t steer towards a proprietary, or otherwise for-profit Canadian alternative.
