mccLogging on to Mastodon… I think I will read six hundred posts today. Perhaps I shall even indulge myself and read six hundred and one
No one can stop me
That is the power of the Fediverse: The power to distribute six hundred and one* ~2kb JSON blobs to my phone
* Possibly more
Andreas K@mcc Shocking, you could have read 601 posts without logging in.
Highly shocking.
Jesse@mcc Tusky app go brrrrr
HelgeIs 600 posts considered a lot? Also how are replies counted?

Musk says verified accounts are temporarily limited to reading 6000 posts/day, unverified to 600, and new unverified to 300, to address "extreme" data scraping (Elon Musk/@elonmusk) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672 http://www.techmeme.com/230701/p9#a230701p9
Thanks! That makes more sense. 600 posts / day is the number one can read without paying. Does someone have a screenshot of the "You read 600 posts, now give me money" message?
@helge Haven’t seen one - probably just a generic error message given the way things are going over there…

Alexander The 1st@helge @misc I'm guessing the API just returns an empty post list after that number, and doesn't try to upsell you directly.
As for whether 600 posts / day is a lot/not a lot - if it counts replies, that's 60 posts with 10 replies made by an app, and then you're done...but also, when I was on Twitter last, I had followed ~200 people IIRC.
That's 3 posts per person I follow in my timeline before I hit that limit, even without replies.

Rob Bell@helge 600 posts takes me less than 15 minutes to get through ☹️
kaukamieli@mcc
Masses coming in and wrecking your server can.
Or apparently fbi just taking the server like just happened to some. :D
Rainwolf /ᵔᴥᵔ\@mcc yeah definitely sucks the rate limiting on Twitter and was making a friend of mine worried he was getting suspended for liking too many train dragon pictures
radgeRayden@mcc Impressive that they really thought limiting users to 20 minutes of browsing was a remotely acceptable idea
KateYagi@radgeRayden @mcc well most likely it includes replies and blocked accounts / ads ublock hides, so realistically 5 minutes.
Amir Livne Bar-on@mcc 600 posts ought to be enough for anyone
Alex FeinmanOh I will read six hundred posts
And I will read six hundred more
Just to be the man who reads twelve hundred posts to spite the bird site dork...
Rewhan@mcc Gracious, such decadence!
Jess (ontological)@mcc wait, and you're telling me this is FREE??? what will they think of next?
matdevdug@mcc Whoa whoa whoa think of all the computer you are taking up? How can one expect a company designed to let you view posts to supply the same resources as a collection of unpaid volunteers?!?
RamsHornStudios@mcc The luxury!
Bálint Szilakszi@mcc luckily ivory gave me a sense how many 600 actually is in terms of time
Domestic Supply 
@mcc I'm happy to say that yours is one of the 600 that I'm not limited to.
The Evil Microwizard@mcc Perhaps you can even leave a tab to your instance open without sending a 10 request/second DOS 🤪😎👍
Outeast@mcc 🎵I will read 600 posts, and I will read 600 more 🎵

@mcc Daring today aren't we?
Tim Leach@mcc this is my first time in mastodon in ages and I'm here specifically because the rate limit is actually making me think that platform is gonna die
Uli@aufdenbergde@mcc
That sounds like a new Proclaimers song:
♫ But I would read 600 posts
And I would read 600 more
Just to be the man who reads 1200 posts
To fall down at your timeline
♫
Esther_Roland@mcc daredevil😋
Adamas Nemesis@mcc Living dangerously, that is! 🙃
Ian R Buck@mcc
And I would read six hundred posts, and I would read six hundred more, just to be the man who made it look like a DDOS attack was at your door.

@mcc aha, no verification, no 600/day that sooooo great:blobcatcoffee:
BPeters RN(NP), PhD@mcc In my head I heard this to the tune of the Proclaimers: "I will read 600 posts and I will read 600 more..."
Ezzat@mcc I will add two more, so 602 😂 it is ridiculous decision.
Merle, Queen of Crime, Prince of Birds@mcc The unmitigated decadence of it!
Lyons@mcc you're mad with power!
Peter Koopman 🦣
Rick Ekle@mcc 600 posts is one sitting for me. Oh well, guess I can’t use Twitter any more today. Oh darn.
Kolt Penny@mcc Although I would like Mastodon to be more active, I don't think there are enough posts in here to go over the quota.
@koltpenny u just gotta use it right
Clovis 
@koltpenny you have to follow a lot of people, since there isn't any suggestion system, you have to do the work by hand. I assure you the network is rather active ! @mcc
Minty@mcc I can see you're edgy and a risktaker. LOL.
Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@mcc Very daring! 🙂
Bjb@mcc reminds me of the Proclaimers classic ‘I would walk five hundred miles and would five hundred more…..’
