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.

    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.

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

          True, twitter has been a slow burn. Meanwhile, reddit gave themselves a countdown clock

            I haven’t been, has it truly been such a rapid burn? What is it like now? There is no way my curiosity will give them more traffic at this point, so any run down would be awesome.

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

      Someone literally hacked my account and bot posting for cryptocurrency. I requested account recovery from Twitter and it all just went to hell after that. The process was bizarre. Repeated instructions for steps I already finished, the entire process starting from scratch, no replies.

      So my account is out there now, doing who knows what. Congrats, it’s a bot.
