Rate limits can be a good way to reduce the impact of bad actors. How they are best used depends on the specific nature of the bad behaviour. Those saying that Threads is using rate limits in the same way as Twitter likely don’t understand the respective problems being tackled.

TIL, via the Figma merger cancellation announcement, that Adobe's mission is "To change the world through digital experiences". The direction of this change is moot.
