Twitter Blocking Reach For Threads Post?

Twitter could be taking stern action to avoid Threads content reaching its feed.

[{"selector":"#anim-e9d2c0cc-9ea7-4504-bfc2-dfc7e63ea7c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8930de26-4f70-435b-901a-8e63a6db4a2a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-672ef9de-4e58-443b-8f6a-241326e3b617","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The platform is reportedly limiting search results when people search for content related to Threads.

[{"selector":"#anim-1b5c10c6-177c-40b1-9934-1e54d97f5f4c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-effd1088-24fe-435d-bd20-a143f37fda14","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6922d66b-a897-45d6-91c5-6d71c4014a11","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Few users have noticed this trend who saw Twitter limiting search results for Threads-related content.

[{"selector":"#anim-411a4883-21a2-4cd2-b5ce-989c5d68e133","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec34dd46-3555-481d-a177-7fcfd47c6dba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a854cbd-3c53-494a-ba4f-60005016a2aa","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

When a person searches with url:threads:net, Twitter seems to be limiting the results.

[{"selector":"#anim-d9353c29-c317-4bc3-9472-317f1fc95c35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53ed24a1-d708-464a-880a-d33ce8e818ef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b939e63-f7ca-4bcc-8ebc-1dcae5379ab3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Meta has seen Threads become a direct rival to Twitter, amassing 100 million sign ups in less than a week.

[{"selector":"#anim-6b8fcf3e-6af1-4f72-8e14-cbbb765c7237","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a949936-be22-4229-a918-a1d237ed8172","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-257fb5ea-d9f2-424f-adb0-57aac724d684","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Twitter's track record under Elon Musk has been shady, and the reports of limiting search results for Threads is hardly surprising.

Musk has been openly criticising Meta's Mark Zuckerberg over his business decisions.
