Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.

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 …
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
This is comedy gold
God the man’s so fucking STUPID

Imagine making it harder to engage with your platform that depends on engagement to exist.
Is this real??
I can't imagine it's hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.
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.
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.

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
Please God don't give them ideas

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.

Lol there's probably so many scrapers because he made the API so expensive
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.

This will just kill the big accounts that generate a majority of the engagement
Gah, all you people in here are gonna have me jumping into mastodon before long...
This federated thing is pretty dang cool.
does this guy even use his own apps
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.
the rules don't apply to him
Managed to use up my limit in about 1 hour
He didn't actually say that, did he? That would be really stupid, even for him.
To Elon's credit (🤮) he did say temporary limits. Of course he lies constantly so who knows.

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 something I thought since he was "forced" to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?

So paywall Twitter? Cool.
Even paying users have a rate limit. It's a ridiculous idea, especially financially.
He's trying to squeeze Twitter addicts
And why the hell would you subscribe to a stupid billionaires Twitter and pay him even More money?
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"
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/
