Happenings Elon musk kills twitter

[JP_Loyalist]

As the title says, elon musk just introduced a "rate limit" for viewing posts daily.

Also it appears he is disabling the ability to view tweets without having a twitter account (a change I actually support)

As my twitter is rate limited I will be posting an image of the tweet I found from somebody else.

To clarify, it appears that looking at replies on a post also counts towards the post limit.

This rate limit also stops users from viewing their own posts on their own accounts aswell as likes and media. (bookmarks appear safe for now)

Twitter is completely over bros.

Also if he wanted money he should have said "twittard blue accounts can bypass the rate limit" but 6000 posts is not that much.

I am unverified and scrolled for a mere 10 minutes and then BAM rate limited.

He has increased the rate limit but this is still insane.

If my favorite artists did not mainly use twitter, I would not even have an account on that platform.

Edit: Would provide archives but can't even get a link to the tweet because of rate limit bullshit.

Edit 2: I want to clarify something. I believe what Elon is INTENDING is actually quite good, However as is common fashion with Elon, his intentions always get acted upon horrendously. Good idea, poor implementation. (The block circumvention is nice though)

and apparently (not sure if it's true) its mobile only....Mr. elon bots are created from a computer in his tweets its said that this was made to stop bots....

I can confirm it is not mobile only as I am on my PC and have got the rate limit.

Dumb feature.

Block circumvention is good but the rest of the changes are shit.

Finally decided to register here after lurking for a long time after this. (Tried to make throwaway alt with a temp mail before but it didn't work out. Now using a permanent mail, we srs bsns now).
Musk is beyond stupid. He might be a welcome change from the dominant political hegemony but he is technically incompetent to a destructive point.

Yeah. He has good intentions but good intentions without the know how on how to make them a reality, is just as bad as having no intentions at all.

The only good thing to come from all this is the removal of block circumvention. Everything else is poorly done and I just found out is a coverup for them losing some sort of contract with google.

Welp, back to my fantastic work life balance (sarcasm).

Hopefully I am free again in a few weeks.

problem is I read 100 posts easily regarding a certain war per day, So I guess it sucks but it is reforming some deranged twitterfags so that they can return to being healthy members of society.

Telegram is a better source for that stuff. When the coup was attempted, the chef literally announced it himself on the mercs official telegram channel. Like, last time I checked 40% of ru and 60% of ukr use it. If you can find the channels, it is better than anything else. Use the translation function if EOP

Why would you support that? That means we can't archive tweets anymore.

 

[ArthurDank]

That's been a concern for me, that they're trying to blind us from some nefarious shenanigans that are in the pipe.

I heard Musk is in some circles that aren't the most freedom loving to put it mildly. I just think with current events in the US and in the world, the timing is awfully convenient.

apparently all of that shit is because they didn't pay their hosting bills

When does this take effect? I wonder if there will be a spike in possible tourism here.

I support it because it means blocking actually does something. Sure people can make burners but it becomes difficult to maintain it.

We still have easy access to archives because we can always get someone else to view a tweet for us and archive it also as long as we know the tweet url it can be archived anyway.

I just like the idea than without an account you are not able to view someones tweets. Means that when I block antis they can't go offline and scan my account. Makes me happy that I can just cut retards out of my space with no hassle.

It could impact archiving perhaps but I really do not think it is an issue.

We already get alot of tourists but I doubt it. Varis has a pretty bad rep among normiefags so most will stay away (thankfully)

People who do swing by should hopefully be of the same mindsets and tolerance levels as everyone else here.

That sounds like a non-issue to me. Why would you care who sees your tweets unless you are posting something incredibly stupid?

On the other hand archival is incredibly important for documenting the scum who use twitter.

It is as simple as this.

If I block someone, I want the block to actually matter. If someone can just log out to view my tweets, then why even have a block button in the first place.

Keep in mind despite most of us having thick skin, people who go out of the way to target and harass people use circumvention all the time. There should be a measure in place so people can protect themselves.

Archival is very important however even if we archive stuff, people can report the archive pages for "defamation" or other things and get them removed from "archive today" and "wayback machine".

When I use twitter (not often) if I comment under a loli piece of art the antis just PILE UP, so if I block them then they just lose access to that.

It means antis can't stalk threads and posts logged off to make lists of people and say "these are all pedophiles"

Archival is still possible, but with this rate limit change, I think twitter is most likely going to implode anyway so the block change will be irrelevant anyway.

So they can't respond to you. Who cares if they can view them unless like I said you are saying something incredibly stupid. This change only helps people like localizers who regularly post stupid shit.

No it is literally not. The only way to archive now is with screenshots which are easy to fake and therefore not as trustworthy as an archive link.

This change does not only help localizers. It helps people who genuinely just get sick of fucktards stalking their account. That does include localizers but is in no way exclusive. We will not see eye to eye on that as we have different wants and needs out of a "block" button.

What you mean to say regarding archive is that we have lost the current methods of archiving. However as with all things, people will find a way to bypass it. It's only a matter of time to be honest.

 

[PhantomXero1x]

Well deserved death too honestly.

 

[Anticitizen001]

Also if he wanted money he should have said "twittard blue accounts can bypass the rate limit" but 6000 posts is not that much.

Hah, I wouldn't pay for the bird app even if Musk personally came to my house and sucked me off, these fags expect me to pay to see more of their bullshit?
I typically believe to never assume malice would could as easily be explained by incompetence, but at this point, I truly hope this has all been a scheme to drag Twatter to the ground.

So basically, a way to circumvent blocks still exists by using burner accounts while there is no way to properly archive anything. All in all a shit change
Also who cares about "people stalking your account"? Laugh at them for having nothing better to do if you want, but ultimately they're just random retards on the internet that you can and should ignore

(Not quite bullying but close enough)
