Matters little, but the rate limits are opening back up. 6k/600/300 -> 8k/800/400 (~noon) -> 10k/1k/500 (~3pm)

I can't read that. "Something went wrong". And I believe under the new logged-in-only rules, I wouldn't even be able to read it if the site was up.

Twitter links are now poisoned, and basically useless.

>>mcint+(OP)
I regained access and got rate-limited again (presumably under these new limits) within about 5-6 minutes.

>>mcint+(OP)
I managed to hit the (newly raised?) rate limit simply by tapping that link. What a circus.

here are the tweets

>To address extreme levels of data scraping & 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

> Rate limits increasing soon to 8000 for verified, 800 for unverified & 400 for new unverified

> Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k

Can you imagine Mark Zuckerberg writing these type of granular site outage status updates?

>>justco+29
I have an idea. We should create a scaping system that scrapes all tweets and makes them availabe so that people are able to see what other people think they are linking to when they link to a broken Twitter page. /s

Either that or people should stop linking to broken pages.

Yeah, between the rate limit, and the algorithmic weighting toward "blue" users, there's very little incentive to interacting with high-follower accounts at the moment.

>>delect+tC1
I hold that as an instrumental belief in trying to use twitter well. Just follow <20k accounts who are near me in-person, or in social-graph. It feels more like a group chat app, and less like the weight of the world, advertising/thread-vertizing hole, and I avoid much of the convenient dunks or quote-hate-fest.

>>kennyw+d3
I did quote a summary of the announcement contents and timestamps.

We'll see how self-sabatoging the strategy is. It's cost cutting and customer-squeezing season, and as a user, I'm as unenthused as you.
