It looks like Twitter isn’t the only one having to turn to rate limits — or limits on how many posts users can view — as it turns out. In an amusing turn of events, Twitter’s latest rival, Instagram Threads, announced this afternoon that it, too, is going to have to tighten up on rate limits due to spam attacks. Laughed Twitter owner Elon Musk in a reply to a screenshot of the announcement posted on Twitter, “Lmaooo Copy ? [cat].”
