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
