How the fuck is Reddit closing their API behind a ridiculous paywall only the SECOND stupidest social media move of the day
Boy I sure picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue
Well I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines!
The day is not over yet
Limit rating your core audience in their primary task is completely batshit crazy. Thank fuck for mastodon.
You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.
I for one am cheering its demise.
By post he means tweet, right? Google says average tweet length is only around 30 characters and average word length around 5 characters. So let’s say it’s 8 words with abbreviation which would take 2 seconds to read. If it’s 4 seconds per tweet with scrolling then you can now only spend under an hour on Twitter without paying. Good on him for fighting against social media addiction I guess.
I got rate limited in 25 minutes by refreshing my Following feed and reading about people getting rate limited. I don’t think it counts 600 unique tweets since I definitely reloaded the same tweets multiple times.
Dude is using 100% of his brain to find the best way to cut ad revenue.
It’s basically everything. Tweets, quoted tweets, replies, and even ads all count against the limit. I’ve seen people saying they hit the limit in under 10 minutes of scrolling. One person said they only managed to post two tweets before being limited.
And from what I understand spam bots are mostly unaffected since they’re already rate limited for reads (but not posts).
Talk about killing the goose that laid golden eggs…
He is so unbelievably dumb?? 😅
Limit READIND is something new. What a creative move!
This is the result of a deranged fascist being born with an apartheid silver spoon in his mouth.
Probably an emerald spoon in his case.
Indeed!
But there’s no proof his father even owned emerald mines!! I mean outside public records and his father’s admission and assertion that it’s true!!
Name me one piece of evidence outside that!! You can’t
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…
I know, somehow people aren’t leaving despite Elon’s best efforts.
wow, this is actually amazing.
You’d think a rapidly developing service like Lemmy might face restrictions like that due to resources but Twitter? Mismanagement beyond belief.
Traditional internet is killing itself
Just these monolithic social media companies really. And I don’t really consider anything “web 2.0” to be traditional internet. Newgrounds was traditional internet.
And it was dope for little Kalothar
I would say the traditional internet was before the time of corporate ruled media, so in that case I’d say corporate internet is killing itself and and media is going back to traditional, at least with respect to the Fediverse.
The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.
They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.
Nah, Web 2.0 is killing itself. Turns out dipshit greedy pig boys aren’t great at running social platforms
Fucking lol.
Keep punching yourself in the dick, elmo.
