Subject: [PATCH] fix(sites): Fix Threads false positive detection
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Threads was showing false positives for non-existent users because
the error message detection was incorrect.

Updated errorMsg:
- Old: "<title>Threads</title>" (generic, matches valid pages too)
- New: "<title>Threads • Log in</title>" (specific to non-existent users)

When a user doesn't exist, Threads redirects to a login page with the
title "Threads • Log in". Valid user profiles have titles like
"Username (@username) • Threads, Say more".

Tested with:
- Invalid user (impossibleuser12345): Correctly not found
- Valid user (zuck): Correctly found

This fixes the false positive issue where non-existent Threads profiles
were being reported as found.
