1. if the tweet was from someone outside of the government then creating a mastodon instance does not make any sense

2. if the tweet was from the government then why couldn't they also put up something on a webpage on their own sites?

The source of the tweet isn't the issue at play.

The tweet / Twitter is the issue.

A Mastodon instance is something the issuer of the message controls. Twitter is not.

Web sites don't "notify" people of content, but social media does.

IIUC, they did. That website being https://social.overheid.nl/

Or am I missing something?
