It's a psychology thing I admit, but having the post spilt up across Mastodon posts immediately makes this take a hit to their ability to speak with authority.
It might just be due to my age but constraining their writing to the post limits also hurts the statements. It makes the whole segment seem reactionary in an internet drama kind of way on one end, or conspiracy theorist writing on the other.
I hope someone in tech journalism picks up the story so we get a proper article on this. Right now it's just a "they said" and "they did" without supporting substance.
It also doesn't help that in the Mastodon website styling, threads segue pretty much straight into comments, and one of the first comments to appear is by an obviously mentally ill person. Posting on social media like this just makes one susceptible to other content appearing next to yours that undermines your message. A blog post on their own site would have allowed them to control their message better.
running this the other direction it seems a touch odd to suggest my own instance's 6969 character limit is capable of conferring some amount of authority, but hey i'll take it
