What are your thoughts on the ongoing Twitter fiasco? You can only read max 600 tweets per day. (yiffit.net)

This is hilarious. Not only is today the first day of reddit without third party apps, but Elon shoots himself in the foot by making Twitter unusable.

self-promo in case you need a Twitter replacement

(By the way, if you need a Mastodon account to replace your Twitter, feel free to sign up at packmates.org which is also run by me.)

600 is way too low. I've never been into Twitter but whenever I see someone's Twitter page they post like 30 times a day. Imagine how many posts the average Twitter user reads if they post that much.

This also breaks the algorithm-induced doomscroll feature of social media, and probably reduces advertiser value even further. Seems like a very obvious misplay even from the POV of an evil CEO.

The limit will probably be gone in a day or so. Elon just kneejerk reacts to things without consulting anyone, and this move is going to plummet user engagement. In the meantime, I hear Mastodon got a healthy user bump today.

I've heard this is happening because they refused to pay for their cloud hosting with Google and got cut off. They need to throttle the entire service to stay afloat until they get some sort of backup plan in place.
