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

... 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.

The Fediverse significantly lacks behind on the Content Discoverability technology.

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

what in particular do you mean by lack of discoverability?
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
like, i want to see posts from communities that i already subscribed to, but because there’s more than 1000 communities on the fediverse and i’m only subscribed to a small countable subset of them, i inevitably lose out on a lot of content. (The “all” feed sucks unfortunately). So how to solve this?

the “lack of discoverability” is the only reason we’re talking about this problem in the first place. algorithms have utterly fucked the world and if no one stops them we’re beyond fucked so the fact that someone thinks it’s bad and is unwilling to try using a platform you need to curate your own content on (like reddit before it went to shit) is just people willingly stepping into the lions mouth.
