Initially, the limit was 600 for unverified and 6000 for verified accounts, which was later pushed to 1000 for unverified and 10000 for verified accounts. In response to the restrictions, Mark Zuckerberg, the meta owner, announced a new app that will be launched to counter Twitter and its restrictions. As a result, Threads was launched. Lando Norris recently joined Threads and welcomed the fans on it with a “👋” emoji. Mark Zuckerberg replied to Norris’ Tweet and welcomed him to his app as he said, “Let’s do this.
