Elon Musk calls Threads a ‘copycat’ app over this feature

Threads is as direct a competition as Twitter has faced. The app — backed by the might of Meta — has a lot of features that are very similar to Twitter. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, in a post on Threads, said that the app is looking to counter the spam attacks on the app. “Spam attacks have picked up so we’re going to have to get tighter on things like rate limits, which is going to mean more unintentionally limiting active people (false positives). If you get caught up [in] those protections let us know.” What Mosseri means is that a lot of Threads users — the more prolific ones — may see some limits on viewing the posts. Mosseri,
