I do also agree with Linus that immediately running to social media to drum up drama is not the correct solution to getting it fixed.

So what is the correct solution?

The key word there is immediately, they called upon Linus but also made the media drama at the exact same time. Call upon Linus, wait for his response, if you don't get one after a decent chunk of time then go to social media.

It's hard to know what line is would have done had there not been the drama that exploded before he got to the thread that ultimately upset him he may have stepped in to try and smooth things over he may not have but it was pretty much guaranteed he wouldn't when it turned into a public event as his opinion on that has been clear for a long long time

Yeah they probably should have tried that. On the other hand this isn't the first time, and Linus didn't do anything then either.
