Good. They should abandon twitter and all other racist, misogynist, transphobic, xenophobic, homophobic bigoted platforms. I hope they have a bad time there.
Political parties should host their own mastodon instances, and give their members accounts. Companies should do the same. It removes all the problems of imitation because the organisation stands as guarantor that the account is the official one.
I'm not sure on the capabilities of Mastodon. But companies will never go for this if Mastodon doesn't support saml or active directory (or other Auth systems). It needs to integrate with their enterprise tools.
There are several mastodon servers that have different feature sets. What you're saying is like "email must support AD". Well some email server might do that and another wouldn't.
