Just gonna leave this little gem here, enjoy.
I for one am cheering its demise.
How the fuck is Reddit closing their API behind a ridiculous paywall only the SECOND stupidest social media move of the day
The day is not over yet
Boy I sure picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue
Well I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines!
You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
wow, this is actually amazing.
You’d think a rapidly developing service like Lemmy might face restrictions like that due to resources but Twitter? Mismanagement beyond belief.
Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…
I know, somehow people aren’t leaving despite Elon’s best efforts.
Limit rating your core audience in their primary task is completely batshit crazy. Thank fuck for mastodon.
By post he means tweet, right? Google says average tweet length is only around 30 characters and average word length around 5 characters. So let’s say it’s 8 words with abbreviation which would take 2 seconds to read. If it’s 4 seconds per tweet with scrolling then you can now only spend under an hour on Twitter without paying (not counting time spent replying). Good on him for fighting against social media addiction I guess.
I got rate limited in 25 minutes by refreshing my Following feed and reading about people getting rate limited. I don’t think it counts 600 unique tweets since I definitely reloaded the same tweets multiple times.
fuck you, Elon. open source devs will bypass this shit in about a week.
LOL this is ridiculous. Great work Elon!
This is utterly insane. Twitter has basically become pay-to-use. I give it less than a day for him to walk this back.
“Temporary Limits”
He is so unbelievably dumb?? 😅
