The news and videos about the recent airplane accident in Tokyo can be found on Twitter, people posted Twitter links, no such thing for Threads.

I'm seeing the same airplane incident text and video on Threads, Reddit, and every news website though. I'm not getting hot takes from Twitter luminaries, but I don't really mind.

What they mean the first hand videos with 50m and 13m views were posted on Twitter and not on Mastodon and Threads

I can assure you though they were posted and can be found on Threads, Mastodon, Reddit, news sites, and many other places too

Do you have an example of a first-hand account posted to those sites that got within an order of magnitude of engagement?

What I’m trying to say, but it doesn’t seem to be coming across clearly, is that the news and videos about the recent airplane accident in Tokyo can definitely be found on places such as Threads. In reply to someone who said it cannot. If the point is they don’t count as existing unless they have a certain number of likes, I’m not following why that would cancel out their existence.

What we're counting is where the originals were posted. Not reposts. People chose to upload their personal experiences to Twitter.
