I’m assuming they want to compete with X/Twitter.

... so you don't think Mastodon is a worthy competitor?
How about Bluesky?

I like Mastodon but it can’t compete with X. The lack of discoverability is non-starter for many. Its greatest benefits are also its biggest barriers to mainstream appeal.
Bluesky says it’s decentralized, but at the end of the day it’s an American company.
They just aren’t the right tools for this particular job.

Then it sounds more like they want to be the European next Bluesky.

If they built out a Mastodon network with government support, then it would.
