And I don't recall a limit on the length of original posts.

Anyone on the internet can view content here.

Only advantage I can see straight away is the federation. Is that what you mean by exposure?

And that would double the admin chores, including the infrequently mentioned hack-proofing.

Maybe there could be some inclusion of ActivityPub, the protocol that underlies Mastodon. Tell the overworked admins! I may comment on the protocol as soon as I set aside some time to figure out what the heck it is.
