A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

    No surprise there. Weren’t they banning people for posting their Mastodon/Cohost accounts or something?

      Yes. Twitter was at one point tagging links to Mastodon as “potentially harmful” and removing them.

      But the one thing that’s been shown consistent about Mr. Musk’s ownership of Twitter is that it is consistently self-contradicting. So as Twitter positions itself as “free speech absolutist” one can rest assured that the reality will be “self-contradicting”.

      Let us not forget that time that Musk said that “Elon Jet Tracker” would not be banned WHILE it was indeed banned. Literally tweeting verifiably false information and then subsequently being called out on it, only for Musk to do the traditional “ignore and move on”.

      Yeah, I think at this point it’s easier to compile a list containing categories of platforms/people/accounts they didn’t ban :)

      Just thought it was kinda funny.
