That would absolutely be abused.

    Can you elaborate?

    Presumably they could run it so only government agencies/staff can post or comment, so it stays official but they can interact with the public

    The government is not really the "public", unless it meant that the public would be able to see and follow announcements, communication, etc, all in one place.

    I agree with what you're saying, but I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Mastodon can be accessed by anyone with a browser. If the whole government made their Mastodon instance their official release channel then it would achieve your objective.
