Just gonna leave this little gem here, enjoy.
I for one am cheering its demise.
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.
Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…
I know, somehow people aren’t leaving despite Elon’s best efforts.
He is so unbelievably dumb?? 😅
Great! Come to fediverse, no limits here ✌️
How the fuck is Reddit closing their API behind a ridiculous paywall only the SECOND stupidest social media move of the day
The day is not over yet
Boy I sure picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue
Well I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines!
Why would you punish your users for using your fucking site? It’s kinda sad how Elon is ruining Twitter.
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
Well, Twitter is a mobile game now… Is there something to consider it a gacha?
Talk about killing the goose that laid golden eggs…
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that killing the API would lead to web scraping! That was a completely unpredictable outcome.
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
spez right now:
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 (not counting time spent replying). 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.
