I think the distributed nature of Mastodon keeps government control from being an issue. It would be kind of cool as a space for citizens to ask for assistance or air grievances while giving the politicians an officially owned space for things like announcements.

Totally agree. The issues with ā€œgovernment-controlled social mediaā€ are a non-issue in a federated environment, and the URL would give them legitimacy.
