In my opinion it's not bad to have a diverse landscape with different options. I believe the best course of action for many institutions should be to use both of these options simultaneously. Any organisation with a social media, communications or other type of public relations team should be able to set up a crossposter easily enough.

Not with Comms tools. We had this in the 90s with email and the various walled gardens like CompuServe and AOL. You couldn't talk to your friends if they were on another system.

Mastodon is SMTP for micro logging. Different servers is fine, but they all need to talk to each other.

Lemmy is NNTP. It's just the same thing reinvented 30 years later and lower latency.

But they don't. Organisations seem to be unable or unwilling to have a presence on multiple sites, or at most they seem to choose either X+BlueSky or X+Mastodon

Every extra platform costs time to take care of.
