Because Mastodon needs a reliable instance with a catchy domain name. Maybe even the slightest bit of advertising.
Someone reputable could make a real Twitter competitor for about $2m a year these days.
I'd say Mozilla, but they just took all their social media funding away and threw it at AI. Genius.
mastodon.world? mastodon.social?
Which don't exactly have the name recognition of The New York Times.

I would worry that Google will simply discontinue the product abruptly. Google is unreliable with product longevity.
It's rather see NYTimes get into it. Even if they time allow outside signups on their instance.
