Elon Musk is not letting go any opportunity to criticise Meta’s recently released Threads app, which is viewed as a direct rival to Twitter.
The Twitter CEO has either criticised Mark Zuckerberg for stealing the concept or even threatened legal action because Threads hired former Twitter staff.
Most recently, Musk has criticised Threads for choosing to implement a rate limit on the number of posts that users can view on the app, which Twitter revealed a few weeks ago.
Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram, recently disclosed that the business is making substantial efforts to eradicate spam and bot accounts, which ostensibly clutter users’ feeds. According to him, the company has lowered the platform’s rate cap due to an uptick in spam attacks. Additionally, this action will reduce the number of people that are actively using the platform.
“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 protection, let us know,” said Mosseri in his recent post on Threads.
While the announcement was in line with the business’s goal to stop spam attacks, Twitter CEO Musk quickly learned of the development and took the opportunity to once again call the platform a copy. In response to a tweet about Threads implementing a rate limit, Musk criticised the website and referred to it as a clone.
Users reaction on rate limit:
Users of Threads reacted favourably to the most recent rate limit despite the fact that many of them were obviously irritated by the existence of bots. “Thank you for the heads up… Thanks. I seem to waste half my time blocking bots pushing gambling and crypto sites… Something needs to be done because this is at least 50% of every post that gets traction…” reads the responses from users.
