Twitter is telling people who have posted just once that they are “over the daily limit for sending tweets,” and won’t allow them to post. I am currently blocked from posting on Twitter. DMs are also down.

@taylorlorenz For some unknown reason, it works if you schedule a tweet. I just tried it, and I was able to post that way. I guess somebody broke something.

I suspect that that will also break once enough people pile on to the server handling scheduling. The H1b folks will have their hands full.

@taylorlorenz TweetDeck is giving a login redirect loop, too. I thought they'd finally killed it, but here's hoping it's temporary. I can't stand Twitter without a dashboard like TweetDeck.
Show threadLaimisFeb 8, 2023

@taylorlorenz would be cool if you posted on twitter and here. Build an audience on this side while getting whatever you need from the twitter.

That way if twitter does become unusable completely, you will already have a big presence here.

@taylorlorenz Ah, this must be what Musk was talking about, this extremely #hardcore thing.

Apparently what it means is "merging/checkins directly into production without QA, passed unit tests or even a code review". You know, like "agile" is "no requirements".

I don't use Twitter anymore. I have not logged in since early December so I can't know if this is a widespread issue or not.

Assuming it is widespread, I'm glad as hell I came here. Because that user experience is so, so bad. And sad.
