Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads

And the reason they are all immediately on Threads is that they saw the existential threat to their careers when Twitter went private and restricted their accounts to viewing 600/6000 Tweets last week. It's clear that with the daily random rule changes and service interruptions Twitter isn't the reliable platform that they need, and Instagram has a great track record of it.

I think these big accounts were given access to Threads much before the rate limiting debacle. And that was great tactic by Threads IMO. Having a lot of "Verified" accounts engagement on the app on day 1 when rest of the world joined gave it instant credibility.

The Instagram influencer type accounts, yes. The journalists mentioned in the post all joined after launch.
