Now if government officials start accepting a fediverse based communication, I will create a separate instance for that and it will be totally safe for work, only used for communications with the government.

Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison

Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.

You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.

But yes, email is great.
