It's risk mitigation on their part to not have their platform controlled by somebody else, especially someone with an agenda like Elon Musk.
Would like to see them set up a Lemmy instance as well.
And of course, it's always good to get in these things early, but not too early in case things don't work out.
Federation is the future of social media for exactly this reason, especially in the twitter-like realm where who is saying it is as (or more) important than what is being said. These people and organizations need to control their brand outside the scope of commercial pressure from the platform.
I know right? So great to be in a place where nobody cares who you are. Gets tiring.
It's nice to just not stand out and be accepted as a normal member of a community.
