And it’s worse than you think. While this is a “bug”, it is based on a feature that Elon is actively rolling out that will be rate limiting how many tweets you’re allowed to view in a day.
That seems to be where the current issue stems from, likely something where it’s looking at the amount you’ve read in the previous 24 hours.
lmao, this is fucking hilarious
I can’t believe I’m saying this but… based elon?
The feddiverse as a whole might be soon flooded with people tho, prepare yourselves, they comin’
He’s removed all of the features of Twitter at this point. It no longer is even the site it was created to be.
And I kinda don’t get it, Twitter is easy to embed and has good SEO, much like Reddit. Walling this up is the opposite of helpful.
Same with the rate limit. Interaction and posting is the heartblood of the website and what gives it value.
why care about helpfulness and community interaction and value when you can simply monetize every single aspect and run the community into the ground for the 💰💰💰

From my understanding, the posts/day also includes any comments you load up. So, if you’re not careful with the more popular Tweets, you could be rate limited in a very quick manner.
This is a bad corporate speak that says, “Don’t scrape our data, consume through api and pay upto your necks”.
To be fair, I guess this helps people from doom scrolling. Thanks Elon, for getting people to touch grass instead of being glued to social media!
Wonder when cable news conglomerates are gonna limit my dad from doom scrolling fox news 🤔
This is so stupid it’s barely believable. Like, he’s made some (many) bad moves, but this is literal platform suicide if it isn’t reversed immidiately.
this. I simply can’t use twitter right now. and some people were saying you can hit 600 tweets in just 15 mins of scrolling. which would basically kill my twitter use entirely. if it continues good chance I stop using twitter.
