I'm back after awhile of being inactive. I joined Threads and then Bluesky. Threads is losing steam though and Bluesky is starting to rate limit too. So back to Mastodon to some degree, haha.
The social media company is expected to debut the new service on Thursday, July 6. It also has a sneaky way to get a download.
Elon is such a liar.
1. Rate limits aren’t how you address scraping. Can easily be done with firewalls.
2. He is intentionally breaking the service.
3. No, it’s not because he didn’t pay a bill; but failing to pay bills is also an intentional, strategic choice.
People need to accept the fact that he is conducting a controlled demolition. The appropriate question then is “why?”
The answer is: to warp the information space.
