Weirdly, we're seeing something very similar to facebook/react-native#44842 reappear. A fix for that did indeed get upstreamed, but it's back!

to add to this, there’s a few product-y reasons why I would really like a createPost API
1. we could run a server-side language detection model that actually works, so we wouldn’t need the language select in the client (it sucks)
2. you wouldn’t need to specify a createdAt time anymore (cont.)

3. for more casual API users, i.e. people doing integrations, we could do stuff like auto-detecting facets. 1000x better DX
4. we could force people to specify aspect ratios on their images 😈
5. we could check if the post is actually gonna be valid - i.e. throw an error if it would fail a threadgate
