Image Transcription: Twitter Post
Elon Musk, @elonmusk
To address extreme levels of data scrapting & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day
This is a transcription template from r/TranscribersOfReddit, which is currently making their templates accessible outside of Reddit. I will update this post with a link to our templates once we have it all sorted. For now, you can access them through Reddit here! https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/wiki/guidelines/
Good human
The comedy writes itself
Holy crap that’s funny as hell
this is so fucking funny, let me grab my popcorn as i watch all the corporate social media sites shit themselves
I’m not tech expert in fact I’m quite dumb when it comes to tech.
BUT HOW DOES ONE MANAGE TO DDOS YOURSELF HOW CAN… I… WHAT
When the cringy rich dingus tells you to code something that is impossible to do with the current infrastructure and the timeframe but instead of explaining because you know he’ll have a temper tantrum, you just do the best you can knowing it won’t work but are already looking for other jobs so you don’t actually care that much.
as someone pointed out on the Mastodon thread, a large chunk of the employees still left are on visas and they can’t just quit …
He didn’t actually say that, did he? That would be really stupid, even for him.
You are really underestimating his stupidity.
he did
He’s crazy
To Elon’s credit (🤮) he did say temporary limits. Of course he lies constantly so who knows.
Imagine making it harder to engage with your platform that depends on engagement to exist.
Gah, all you people in here are gonna have me jumping into mastodon before long…
This federated thing is pretty dang cool.
Also could be that they are scaling down systems
It’s almost as though the mass exodus he bragged about causing has consequences
Yeah something I thought since he was “forced” to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?
Im just saying, he hasn’t been paying bills and it’s the first of the month.
does this guy even use his own apps
the rules don’t apply to him
He doesn’t even use his own brain.
He likes to watch the numbers go up but beyond that, I suppose less than we might think.
Real talk, at this point it really just seems like a conscious effort at destroying the platform. Musk is definitely a fucking idiot, but there’s no way even someone as unintelligent as he is would think this is a remotely “good” way to run a social media website.
I’m convinced now his goal was always to just destroy Twitter.
Honestly, I’m not convinced. I think he’s just really that dumb. I showed it to someone else who works in IT and their reaction was that it sounded like a lot of management they’ve worked with: people who have no idea under god how anything works and refuse to listen to why their idea is functionally terrible. Even if you swear up and down it will ruin the entire product, they want it done now, because they want it.
That seems perfectly in line with the kind of moron I’ve heard he is.
I think you’re dead on. Elon is trying to make Twitter work, but he doesn’t understand it at all. He doesn’t understand what they’re commodifying, who their customers are, or why people use Twitter in the first place.
Twitter is no longer free. Lol seems like a bad idea.
Lol there’s probably so many scrapers because he made the API so expensive
And why the hell would you subscribe to a stupid billionaires Twitter and pay him even More money?
This will just kill the big accounts that generate a majority of the engagement
I wonder if Reddit is going to do this next…
I can see them making people log in to see the posts.
I can see Reddit limiting upvotes per day. Only 300 but “unlimited” with Reddit premium, etc
Reddit just loves going full Twitter
Premium gets you a super upvote worth 10 regular votes
Okay, I might not have gotten the lingo yet: I see so many posts about “Rule” and I don’t get it. Can someone ELI5?
The old subreddit had one rule: you had to make a post before leaving. People started just saying “rule” in the title as a joke about begrudgingly complying with the rule.
Can someone explain what is up with the constant “rule” thing in titles with people on this instance?
It’s because it’s an r/196 reboot.
r/196 used to be a subreddit with only one rule: that if you visited the subreddit, you had to post something before you left. Didn’t matter what it was, but it’s why their reiterations in the fediverse seem to much more active than anywhere else.
Whether adding “rule” to the title was a part of it, idk, but I think that part’s just a meme habit
