Are they going to start monitoring Bloomberg chat now as well?

Of course not. They're probably just going to wait until this blows over and get back to business as usual.

The way it's panning out now they probably won't go down the regulatory route. They already have levers that they can pull if the behaviour happens again, through the platform (Robinhood and the like) limiting trading or having Reddit or Discord ban or suspend groups on spurious grounds such as hate speech.

Why go down the legal route when you can give a soft nudge to board members and still get the desired outcome?

No, of course not. It's perfectly fine when they do it.
