Tweets that include the word Threads are getting limited visibility #1867

With the launch of Twitter's competitor Threads, I noticed that tweets that include the word Threads are getting limited visibility. Has anyone else tested this out?

A shame that Mastodon never took off. Oh well.

Google says: Your search - site:truthsocial.com newsom - did not match any documents

Brave says there aren't many "great results" but does have Newsom's feed.

DuckDuckGo and Yahoo only show 2 generic results from Truth.

So much for the "open web".

Truth is a really terrible website, but it's unacceptable to censor it just because it has bad ideas on it.

That being said, where are you using DDG from? I use DDG in onionland and I can get a lot of Truth results: https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/?q=site%253Atruthsocial.com

I'm using DDG with Brave using a VPN that most sites read as Miami. The search I did now returns three results, two generic and one with a tweet that mentioned Newsom. Clicking 'more results' shows Trump's feed and several Trump satellites. Clicking 'more results' again doesn't show many more: they only show 21 results total. And, Newsom's feed isn't among them.
