"can I just say that I like how, whenever you post something very moving on twitter, at the end of the thread there's some lass with her waps out going "want me to sit on your face? subscribe here" "

Lol

Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions? Do we yet know the answers? And do we even want to know the answers?

I don’t want the answers.

Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of blood doping and yet not be labeled a "cheater" or a "fraud" as we ask questions?

I am getting a lot of promoted tweets all from Tim Scott (the senator)

How the fuck is Kim Dotcom still a thing? I thought he went to jail or something years ago?

the real reason they’re banning people with huge block lists is because this site is held together with string and tape. i guarantee you some block lists were breaking something

xp he’s in a protracted legal battle about whether copyright infringement is a civil offense, meaning it’s not worthy of extradition. this has gone on years and years and

Twitter not letting you view stuff while logged out feels huge if it's intended?

Yeah, another very dumb move but hard to read intent in this current scotch tape held together state of the site

probably along the lines of the tweet lagoon posted, I'm guessing things are just not running well right now and they're looking for a way to cut traffic

Nitter Redirect chrome extension works fine enough if you need it (will also open up a lot of other things they'd already killed, like search and viewing hashtags links)

I had been checking in with a handful of twitter accounts since I nuked mine, so it was a surprise this morning to not be able to do that. However, I just googled "can't view twitter without account" and found records of people complaining about this problem in the pre-Musk days as well. Not that I don't blame Musk for this instance, but Twitter's jankiness does precede him.

Yeah for about a year pre-Musk I couldn't get read with no account, which is how I found out about nitter. It became available again when Musk took over, probably cos he sacked so many ppl lol

site seems to be down again

oops

it never goes down for me :(

minor complaint compared to everything else, but I hate how it's now "What is happening?!" - I am very rarely in a "?!" mood.

yeah, currently won't load for my main account where I follow 4,000+, but the timeline for my alt where I follow 75 is working fine.

notifications working, timeline intermittent

it was Terry Funk's 79th birthday

this was a weird way to hear that Droz passed.

happy birthday terry :|

one thing is sure in life, eventually the rate limit comes for us all

of my two accounts one is fine, the other is "rate-limited".

However, I just googled "can't view twitter without account" and found records of people complaining about this problem in the pre-Musk days as well. Not that I don't blame Musk for this instance, but Twitter's jankiness does precede him.

you could at least view a tweet you were linked to!!!! now it's completely walled off, which is good, fuck twitter

So weird. Couldn’t see any activity with my most active account, saw this thread and surmised it could be cause I blocked too many blue checks. That sucks cause the main appeal of the site now is as a game where I try to block as many as possible.

So I tried to log in with an alt account, I could see the feed but the account is locked for breaking rules (your guess is as good as mine regarding which rule they may have arbitrarily enforced this time). But immediately after logging in with the alt account I went back to my main account and it’s now showing the feed. This is a real spit-and-duct-tape situation isn’t it.

Haven’t heard much of BlueSky lately. Another flash in the pan?

its pretty active over there idk def not dead yet

it will only heat up when im invited

what lol he cannot be serious

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

been fun folks

banned for the crime of reading

lol what a joke

are we lead to believe that it costs twitter more to serve a tweet than they make in ad revenue on that tweet

mb hes just making stuff up to cover for the down time

is that 600 unique tweets, or does the same 60 seen 10 times in a day count as 600?

i can read stuff w/my little account that i don't use much, viz that there is a #francehasfallen hashtag trending which is i imagine mostly super-racist 👎🏽

my main account is stuck on "retry"

notifications is working but you can't click thru to a conversation you just get the reply tweet and a flickering blue circle like it's trying to keep up but can't

time for elon to go look at some titanic wreckage in a carbon-titanium tube

france has fallen, long live france

"Not able to look into it"

It's even crashing Bluesky because clearly everyone is running over there in a heap. (Mastodon is still bopping along.)

This plus requiring people to have an account to view posts seems completely untenable. Why purposefully drive down views across the board?

hes trying to get people to buy twitter blue, which is so dumb, the paid base for this kind of service is always going to be a small percentage of of the total users, which means you should be trying to increase the total users, not decrease them

I'll be really shocked if this causes a significant increase in paid accounts
