freehugs,

Please pardon my ignorance, but who is actually being limited by a maximum 600 tweets per day? It can’t be your average (or even moderately active) Twitter user, right?

@freehugs @FizzlePopBerryTwist isn't the limit reading 600 tweets, not sending out 600, since it is to prevent data scraping?

BoneDaddy,

don’t worry it is

new accounts are limited by 300

mignochrono,

New accounts? Wait…I thought that was only when you scroll without an account. So if I have an account,I can only read 300 tweets/replies? What happens after that? Do I need to buy blue?

BoneDaddy,

if you already had an account it’s limited to 600api calls. Twitter blue increases that to 6000api calls. and you can no longer browse without an account which ironically caused Twitter to ddos itself

The limit was actually reading 600 tweets. Scrolling through comments also uses up that limit, since each comment counts as a tweet. That’s the problem.

Space Muggle destroyed its ad revenues by allowing the worst people on Earth on Twitter. No one gives a shit about his blue checks, so he had to make up some shit to brute force people to subscribe (you have 10 times the amount if you’re a blue subscriber)

In the meantime, Bluesky had to pause the registration, because even with a system based on invitation they couldn’t handle the influx of new users.

The moment Bluesky is out for everyone Twitter is dead. It will become an echo chamber for angry right-wingers with no one to listen.

Next up: Youtube limits users to a cumulative 2 hours of viewing per month, unless they have Youtube Premium

FizzlePopBerryTwist,

Shit, don’t give them ideas! lol

OsrsNeedsF2P,

On second thoughts, please do it

wanderingmagus,

It’s like there’s some kind of dumbest decision contest. Who’s next? Meta? TikTok? Instagram? I know about YouTube.

FizzlePopBerryTwist,

Maybe MySpace will have a resurgence.

The fediverse has been doing great. Server issues from a bunch of new users but that’s just a symptom of something good.
