    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.

      And I’d have thought the potential customers segment are exactly the Mastodon users.

      I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

        This is most likely what is the issue and they are never going to be able to fix this on a platform like that

      (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.
