It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

It's so fucking funny how Twitter and Reddit are imploding on the exact same day lmao.

[-] OctopusKurwa@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Spez did say Musk's Twitter was something to be admired and emulated lol

I'm not going to claim I know what's happening, but I like the self-DDoSing explanation because it's even funnier

[-] Nathaniel_essex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Im enjoying the shit show Elon is providing. It's definitely entertaining watching a "genius" at work.

[-] Tandybaum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I used to work for a local company that sold parts to Tesla. They were a huge nightmare and wouldn’t pay us. I think that is their whole deal. Not paying the small companies.

FUCK them

Sounds like Elon

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's ok guys, Elon told his engineers to just rewrite the stack, so all problems will go away!

Don't you know? Paying your bills is woke

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

"Bills" is now considered a slur on Twitter.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What's up with billionaires and not paying their bills?

[-] MysticSmear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think it’s more that people who tend to be billionaires tend to also be kinda scummy people.

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You dont make that kind of money being honest and empathetic. The most honest ppl I know that run businesses are barely paying themselves. There's a reason CEOs have higher than normal representation of psychopaths. It allows them to make the best decisions even if it means running the orphan killing machine 24/7.

Lmao just how much worse can it get. What a trip Elon

When all this crap started, my guess was that he is some sort of captured asset that's using his position to sabotage the platform to hinder free speech. Initially, he was so strongly targeting any anti-trump/anti-republican assets that it seemed blatantly obvious, but my money is on Russia or China. China being the more obvious option, given they supply a lot of Tesla's materials.

That's all conjecture of course, he could just be an insane despot cutting his nose off to spite his face like Steve Huffman.

I had a similar thought... It stands to reason.

At this point I have no idea if twitter dying is a planned thing or mismanagement. I made my profile my freshman year of high school and never logged back on. The only thing I'll miss is having a general place for quick updates on projects that I'm keeping an eye on. Guess it's time to fully utilized discord.

[-] Strangian@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah Elon is an idiot, but its hard to believe someone could burn Twitter to the ground this fast unintentionally

[-] UmbrellAssassin@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Especially with how much money was spent on acquiring it. If it is on purpose, he has unimaginable capital.
