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 …
its rather impressive and takes some serious lack of thinking
The comedy writes itself
Holy crap that’s funny as hell
This is comedy gold
God the man’s so fucking STUPID
Soon you will only have access to the post button 24 times a day. Elon gotta watch his limit.
Oh, Elon won’t have a limit. Elon Mode is a standard feature in Elon’s products.
Is this real??
I can’t imagine it’s hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.
I never really used twitter, but if I used it like i use ANY other social media site, yeah. I would fill that up in like an hour… and I use these sites all day long…
I still have my Twitter, I’ll go check.

This is some top notch investigative journalism right here.
LOLOLOL i appreciate you so much
So, once you’re done your 600 posts, you’ll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.
So paywall Twitter? Cool.
Also could be that they are scaling down systems
Im just saying, he hasn’t been paying bills and it’s the first of the month.
Yeah. That feels more likely. Twitter has been running for years and likely isn’t a stranger to something like this.
Yeah something I thought since he was “forced” to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?
Why would that affect these metrics?
Less servers able to serve requests means either get overloaded and have downtime, or rate limit and stay up.
Both are bad, but rate limiting is less bad.
does this guy even use his own apps
He likes to watch the numbers go up but beyond that, I suppose less than we might think.
He doesn’t even use his own brain.
Managed to use up my limit in about 1 hour
This will just kill the big accounts that generate a majority of the engagement
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.
Oh boy, here come twit1@funnydomainname.tk, twit2@funnydomainname.tk, twit3@funnydomainname.tk, and my favorite: twit753@funnydomainname.tk.
Then they’ll just do this sort of thing based on IP address and I’ll have to start yelling at my dad for looking at too many tweets
“see? Despite limiting access we actually gained users”
Actually seems about right? Humans won’t be doing more than that.
Aren’t replies also considered tweets? Click on 1 popular tweet and it counts as 10+ tweets due to the replies automatically loading.
Reading posts? 600 would go by very quickly and 6000 could be scrolled through by a power user pretty easily which sucks for a paid account.
Each time a tweet enters your viewport, it’s considered a view. If you have 10 tweets visible on your screen, that’s 10 from your quota already.
LMFAOOOOO
Imagine making it harder to engage with your platform that depends on engagement to exist.
This sucks … seems that he can’t handle this
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/
