Twitter seems to ban all Threads links to reaffirm its position as a “free speech absolutist” platform (www.theverge.com)

A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

I'm not a 140 characters person, so never got on the Twitter/Mastodon train.

However, I think this is a wrong approach. It would be better if they were connected, but easily filtered. Just like NSFW.

Mastodon gives you 500 characters.

Also it has filters. :) I use those too, but I don't have Nazi or Fascist speech filtered because I think it's of the utmost importance that it be reported when it slips through. The upside is that in nine months of being on Mastodon, I can count on one hand the number of extremist toots I've seen. I'm glad filters exist for people who are emotionally upset by it, though.

It's a great platform and I love it.
