If Twitter is done, so is our access to immediate information EDIT: It's Over

How are y'all scrolling for 600 damn posts a day

This change is trash af but I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect my twitter use whatsoever.

could scroll through one users media gallery or even a couple of galleries in that time frame but the way elon has it set up, seeing your own tweets, tweet replies, dms, and other tweets counts against a user.

He doesn't want to pay for the cloud bill twitter was using. Their servers are being run by power and they don't have enough hamsters. It's like rolling blackouts when it is too hot and everyone in the city has their AC turned up to the max.

Breh had a 40 billion just layin around to throw away . Did not think it through before buying lmao

It will undoubtedly happen. Evolution is still at work. Even in the digital.



I think you're right. But deeper than that is he is the ultimate right winger.

It's kinda like a "moral" thing to him. He's more interested in white supremacy than having ALL the money. He'll take a metric ton of money and the power to destroy free speech.

Twitter before Elon wasnt perfect or righteous, but they made the platform for people around the world to get and send information in a way that unites. They were leaning toward equality. Many righteous revolutions were facilitated by the OG Twitter.

If I was able to have enough money to change the world in the way I want... I'd buy some shyt that I thought was bad for our health and bury it. And if I had any number of billions, I'd sacrifice 99% of it to protect MY FOLKS.

So that's what Elon could be doing. But you gotta understand. His "right thing" is OPPOSITE of a Black persons' "right thing"

Welp if that is the case he got this round. But the battle between good and evil is eternal. We will bounce back, the next big thing will come and become our rallying point, and he will be relatively broke and humiliated from his endeavor...for a time. But he too will bounce back, or someone else will come along in his place, rinse, wash repeat until mother nature has finally had it with all our shyt and clears the whole board.

I dont understand it myself. But i guess if i had unlimited resources and was spiritually burned out from shyt going my way all the time i would probably be pretty bored and looking for some kind of purpose as well. I would just hope it would be a more righteous one.

On the plus side, at least the negaitve that comes with twitter is being flushed with the good. For now.

The man isn't a complete fool. He's just entitled and reckless. He has his new toy, he will play with it, take it apart and put it back together as many times as he has to in order to fully understand it. And he can afford to do it even at the risk of alienating a few advertisers.

The real problems start when he understands the dimensions of what he bought. All this social-media-addict-withdrawal noise is beside the point.

Elon has stans?

I made this point back in February when emergency response to the #turkey #syria #earthquake was similarly throttled on twitter https://spore.social/@abshlimon/109861133370021817

The change on Saturday came as thousands of users complained about getting an error message that they had “exceeded” their “rate limit.”

At this point, hed have a higher chance of getting his money back if he left it alone for a few years and hired a facebook exec to run the thing.

You coukd tell his ideas were half assed and thought up during a lunch break instead of going through traditional beta/alpha testing and developmental cycles. Im honestly shocked he treats twitter like this when none of his other ventures are run in a similar fashion.

It's the ability to retweet people.
You can't do that on IG. The only other place you can even do that is on Tumblr with the reblog feature.

Huh? You can share anything to your story on IG or Facebook. It just won't be on your main timeline.
