That's it right there - this line really emphasizes why Musky came up with the idea to buy the platform in the first place.
It's also an exit condition. When it no longer serves as a channel to reach enough people, they leave, and more leave as a result.. the interesting question is there that threshold lies
There certainly isn't a shortage of government-run mastodon servers in Germany. It's probably a good idea to make sure everything gets posted there and agencies with small and specialised audiences can get off twitter (also, facebook) quite easily. Say if you're interested in updates to discussions about updates to the tax code.
Others will stay as long as there's people to reach and the information is important. E.g. the weather service can withdraw when they get tired of the platform, while catastrophe relief just plainly won't as long as there's people on there. Everything actually important that the weather service says is also said by catastrophe relief (imminent bad storm, extreme UV/heat, what have you).
I guess depending on how many are just bots vs. actual users.
