Whats the problem with creating one message and using the APIs for posting it on all social medai? With optional formatting per platform?

Because these bridges are one way only.

They will get spicy replies on niche platforms, not see them until they go viral in a bad way.

Ohh that's a fair point! Maybe there's a way of fixing that by adding some "post your concerns over on reddit" or something similar, but idk.

Even so. It'll be an unmoderated by them section of conversation about their company. Probably a hard pass from any company with an HR department.

I think you mean PR department.

They wrote that they don't want to "write and forget" but engage with people (as they do on Reddit, for better or worse). I think it's opinable, but it sounds reasonable to me. What is the value of having an official account which just reposts one-way communication already published on the blog and on the newsletter? Anybody can build such a bot, but it's not "presence" the way I interpret it.
