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!
Limit rating your core audience in their primary task is completely batshit crazy. Thank fuck for mastodon.
I for one am cheering its demise.
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. 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.
It’s basically everything. Tweets, quoted tweets, replies, and even ads all count against the limit. I’ve seen people saying they hit the limit in under 10 minutes of scrolling. One person said they only managed to post two tweets before being limited.
And from what I understand spam bots are mostly unaffected since they’re already rate limited for reads (but not posts).
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
Please please please let this be the breaking point at which big online personalities switch to mastodon, or at least start using those crossposting tools. That’s the only thing I miss from twitter and something RSS cant replace
Wow that’s my Twitter and Reddit account deleted within 24 hours
This is the result of a deranged fascist being born with an apartheid silver spoon in his mouth.
Probably an emerald spoon in his case.
Indeed!
But there’s no proof his father even owned emerald mines!! I mean outside public records and his father’s admission and assertion that it’s true!!
Name me one piece of evidence outside that!! You can’t
Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…
I know, somehow people aren’t leaving despite Elon’s best efforts.
spez right now:
Limit READIND is something new. What a creative move!
You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.
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.
fuck you, Elon. open source devs will bypass this shit in about a week.
