Comment on After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance

When you’re a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, …). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.

You do. But the point stands, on the scale of a govt budget, having a single full time employee (and even that is honestly overkill) is a drop in the ocean.
