    It’s like there’s some kind of dumbest decision contest. Who’s next? Meta? TikTok? Instagram? I know about YouTube.

    Space Muggle destroyed its ad revenues by allowing the worst people on Earth on Twitter. No one gives a shit about his blue checks, so he had to make up some shit to brute force people to subscribe (you have 10 times the amount if you’re a blue subscriber)

    In the meantime, Bluesky had to pause the registration, because even with a system based on invitation they couldn’t handle the influx of new users.

    The moment Bluesky is out for everyone Twitter is dead. It will become an echo chamber for angry right-wingers with no one to listen.

      How can we help? Like if I wanted to donate to bluesky? So they can get more servers? Is it like Lemmy? Or is it close?

    Please pardon my ignorance, but who is actually being limited by a maximum 600 tweets per day? It can’t be your average (or even moderately active) Twitter user, right?

        New accounts? Wait…I thought that was only when you scroll without an account. So if I have an account,I can only read 300 tweets/replies? What happens after that? Do I need to buy blue?

          if you already had an account it’s limited to 600api calls. Twitter blue increases that to 6000api calls. and you can no longer browse without an account which ironically caused Twitter to ddos itself

      The limit was actually reading 600 tweets. Scrolling through comments also uses up that limit, since each comment counts as a tweet. That’s the problem.
