Because they will create their own circlejerk in the fediverse too and people will leave them alone to do it. Instances would likely defederate from a truth social instance if it were federated.

Trump actually does host his own Mastodon server. It’s called “Truth”. Unfortunately it doesn’t federate 🤣
