Twitter C/D

been fun folks

banned for the crime of reading

lol what a joke

are we lead to believe that it costs twitter more to serve a tweet than they make in ad revenue on that tweet

mb hes just making stuff up to cover for the down time

is that 600 unique tweets, or does the same 60 seen 10 times in a day count as 600?

i can read stuff w/my little account that i don't use much, viz that there is a #francehasfallen hashtag trending which is i imagine mostly super-racist 👎🏽

my main account is stuck on "retry"

notifications is working but you can't click thru to a conversation you just get the reply tweet and a flickering blue circle like it's trying to keep up but can't

time for elon to go look at some titanic wreckage in a carbon-titanium tube

france has fallen, long live france

"Not able to look into it"

It's even crashing Bluesky because clearly everyone is running over there in a heap. (Mastodon is still bopping along.)

This plus requiring people to have an account to view posts seems completely untenable. Why purposefully drive down views across the board?

hes trying to get people to buy twitter blue, which is so dumb, the paid base for this kind of service is always going to be a small percentage of of the total users, which means you should be trying to increase the total users, not decrease them

I'll be really shocked if this causes a significant increase in paid accounts

Hahah anything but.

recall him and his cronies talking on there before he bought it how a paid subscription is a no brainer, they were all saying "yeah id pay 10 dollars a month to be able to write long posts" and so forth, lol

I don’t know how they count this — is he counting tweets and replies or just tweets? Even if the latter, it seems like among other things he’s penalizing the blue checks because it’s severely limiting the number of people they can reach with their prioritized tweets.

Feel like admitting there’s a read limit on blue ticks was a bad idea too

We wanted to understand why Elon Musk’s plan to severely engagement on Twitter makes sense for Twitter’s bottom line. So we talked to three unvaccinated RFK Jr. supporters at a Tesla charging station in Menlo Park.

the extreme levels of data-scraing are coming from inside the house

As someone who loves twitter I have to say it's delicious

wait so I just can’t read twitter for the rest of the day now?

who knows

600 is like a couple of hours posting (in my TL) on a regular day.

This.

i know we all love goofin' around on here, but i am once again absolutely fucking gutted by the imminent loss of an irreplaceable archive of first person accounts of little moments in history. losing the ability to search the online landfill for these artifacts is devastating.

I am not gutted though, but it's a loss.

otm, also its funny

another good one if he wants to live the realness life

oops wrong thread

Just love how I have to scroll through adverts as part of my 600

lol bluesky is down too, prob from people going on there to complain that twitters down

or at least its very slow

Does it again

The lurkers are in my thoughts today.

“Paid accounts can only use the website for 1 hour per day. Everyone else 7 minutes” is really something pic.twitter.com/s3HML7phzD

Saying I exceeded my limit but I can still see some tweets, like this one.
