the blue sky titanic lifeboats couldn’t handle the influx of attention, and that’s with a severely restricted user base because of the staggered signups. twitter is a disaster right now. reddit is going through turmoil hnder a CEO vowing to emulate Musk’s reign at Twitter. this place still seems functional, which is cool at least.
Max KennerlyLOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.
You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed
please ffs just let us QT posts on here, because this is too stupid for words and deserves to be a TKO for that platform if implemented

Greg GreeneSure, Twitter’s taken a 40-percent revenue hit — but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed with the sale of $8 blue checks to the Taliban, hm?
Eugen RochkoI don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.
