Facebook has no idea how to talk to Twitter and vice versa (and the companies that control them have zero interest in such interoperability anyway). Just like email, a federated social media service like Mastodon allows you to use any compatible server, or even run your own, and follow accounts on your home server or anywhere else, even servers running different software as long as they use the same ActivityPub protocol.
