Because it's a big waste of time and won't get anywhere. The fact that mastodon has been a thing since 2018 (or earlier) unopposed means that they will have a really hard time proving that they ever had any trade ownership over the concept of microblogging.
Given how fast this thing was put together, it's very likely Meta actually DID use stuff from Twitter that was patented. Mastodon less likely, because it was built completely separate over a few years
Writing a Twitter clone isn’t exactly hard, especially for a company that practically o center social media and already runs Instagram and Facebook.
Considering how fast this was put together sounds like all the other shit Musk has done with Twitter. Fast and half thought through. So far this seems meaningless.
