Why can't we dump Twitter (X)?

The Musk Melon lobbed softballs at Liddle Donnie. To be 'fair' he invited Kamala Harris for an interview. She should point out how poorly Twitter managed the interview with Liddle Donnie. A newsperson reminded me that Joe Biden announced his withdrawal on Twitter.
Why? If the White House had its own Mastodon, wouldn't everybody who wants to know what the WH says use it? Wouldn't it be just as effective? Most people still get their news from the media that let us in on what the 'important' people say. They can get on Mastodon.
We can't get rid of Twitter but we can stop using it. Nobody would pay attention to my Mastodon, but I'm a nobody.
