This might sound crazy but this is way worse to me than the CEO simping for orange man. At least for Trump he has a semi plausible excuse.
Reposting stuff on Mastodon or Bluesky barely requires any additional effort. And I cannot think of a good reason to close abandon the free publicity when they already have it set up.
(Re)Posting and not engaging with the community is not free publicity, is bad publicity. They don't have the resources (according to them) do to the latter, and therefore they choose not to do the former.
Shows their priorities by not choosing an open platform.
Sure, it does. Which depending on what their goal is, may be perfectly fine.
They have always been actively almost exclusively on reddit (where they engage) anyway, they will keep doing so I assume.
