I remember reading that Twitter was pretty famous on Japan so that's why they are still there.

Well, they are no fascists so they can not expect preferential treatment from Elon.

well the Japanese Liberal Party has exclusively ruled Japan since WWII, and it might as well be considered a one party authoritarian state with a facade of democratic legitimacy. But yes, not strictly speaking fascist.

Countries should have their own Mastodon instances. Then again, you can't trust governments.

You can trust them within a framework of expectations. Bureaucrats gonna bureaucrat, and it's not a monolith. The level of mistrust should rise steeply with the level of money that can be made by being in a given governmental position. Do I trust rando post office employee? Sure, they're just some schmuck with a job. Do I trust a congresscritter? Oh hell no.

Have multiple accounts and rotate through them with each post. But then you have to make sure all of your followers are following all accounts. It's a shitty workaround but it's a shitty platform to begin with.

Right, because it's not on the platform to remain how it was. It's now the users' responsibility to completely change how they interact with the service so they can have the same functionality.
