    You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.

    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

    So unless you pay Elon Musk $8/month, you can only load 600 tweets per day. That’s some fucked up shit right there man.

    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.

    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.
