      My guess would be because of the reach? Like, Twitter has a lot of users and a lot of important figures in politics worldwide use it. Not that many people, both as in political figures, and small users use the Fediverse.

      But then again, you could just do both.

        I use neither Mastodon nor Twitter (I’ve never understood the value of microblogging) but one of them is freely available, the other one is restricted. In my view – as someone who has no account on either platform and only occasionally goes there if it’s linked somewhere – Mastodon has a much wider reach.

        Hopefully when twitterx goes extinct the German Chancellor will just spin up their own instance and federate their content.
