Threads give users more control over who can quote their posts (such as reposting with comments). If you don't want anyone to be able to quote your posts, you now have the option to allow only people you follow to do so. Or you can make it so that no one can cite your posts at all. instagram boss announced the update this weekend and said it hopes it “helps keep Threads a more positive place.” The platform tested the feature among a group of Threads users last month, but is now rolling out to everyone.
Threads, which has slowly been adding more features to improve security and the overall user experience, borrowing some tools from instagram. Last month, users can designate certain terms they want to be filtered from their feeds. Threads also recently started testing options for archiving posts, either manually or automatically after a chosen expiration date.
