twitter might be in its last throes


Verified accounts "are limited to reading 6000 posts/day," while unverified accounts were limited to 600 per day, Musk's tweet said. New and unverified counts will have an even lower limit of 300, he said.

It was unclear how the site was calculating what counted as a read tweet. USA TODAY reached out to Twitter for clarification and and received an automated message of a poop emoji, as is standard for the company.

Yeah, ol musk is nobody’s hero — general or free speech. Not that many on this blog looked at him as such.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

some people are saying that Twitter started DDOS-ing itself when Musk tried to make everyone log in to see Tweets yesterday, due to a bug (and the DDOS is taking the site down)

If the goal is to get people to subscribe, why would there be a limit for subscribers?

Right amount of lol to be a legit explanation. Also seems very not good for the future of twitter.

It is interesting to read former twitter engineers theories on what is happening.


“my guess is during Google cloud payment negotiations he threatened to increase the price of Firehose API access that Google uses to search index public tweets, and someone on the call either threatened to or straight-up prototyped doing it via scraping so he did this to win the argument.

Pure self-immolation”

It really has some fun parallels to the South Park episode where Cartman buys a theme prk

Interesting observation even independent of Musk's actual intentions.

That sounds like a thing but I’m not convinced it’s actually a thing. Twitter provides superior access to powerful people, but I think it gives them far more influence over regular people than the other way around.

The timing of the Meta Threads launch is incredible. Not difficult to imagine a scenario in which twitter people start moving over en masse.

Maybe Zuck will get to kick Elon's ass after all, despite Elon's mother pulling the plug.
