This strategy sounds perfect: ensuring Threads isn't the destination of choice for serious discussion. Thanks for sentencing your new product to death, Adam.

Yeah! A great way instantly destroy the value of it for a bunch of Twitter subcultures like Politicians, Journalists, Media outlets in general.

Like, what's the point of this app and the launch window if you're instantly going to turn off lots of prominent users?

Sidenote: I would not trust Meta at all regarding ads and politics, we've seen in the last five years on why not.
