How exactly does this work within TOS I thought threads like most meta products lacks an official api

It doesn't seem to be automated

He may be doing it manually, it wouldn't be the first time. When he first got banned from twitter and started publishing on Mastodon he was doing all the updates by hand for a while.

Long term there are ways and means that it could be done via the html front end, it would probably take a little bit more monitoring but there seem to be plenty of people willing to help him!
