Rule, nail in coffin

I’m not tech expert in fact I’m quite dumb when it comes to tech.

BUT HOW DOES ONE MANAGE TO DDOS YOURSELF HOW CAN… I… WHAT

The comedy writes itself

Holy crap that's funny as hell

this is so fucking funny, let me grab my popcorn as i watch all the corporate social media sites shit themselves

This is comedy gold

God the man’s so fucking STUPID

This website sure looks like it's fit to become the X everything app...

So, once you're done your 600 posts, you'll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.

I never really used twitter, but if I used it like i use ANY other social media site, yeah. I would fill that up in like an hour..... and I use these sites all day long...

Yeah it's real: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672

Oh, Elon won’t have a limit. Elon Mode is a standard feature in Elon’s products.

If this man had any kind of limit placed on his twitter account he would get so physically ill that heroin withdrawal will look pleasant

Premium gets you a super upvote worth 10 regular votes

They already do that for NSFW posts, and they're inconsistent about it. Sometimes you just have to click "I'm over 18”, but mostly it asks you to log in

Im just saying, he hasn't been paying bills and it's the first of the month.

Yeah. That feels more likely. Twitter has been running for years and likely isn’t a stranger to something like this.

Yeah something I thought since he was "forced" to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?

Why would that affect these metrics?

It's almost as though the mass exodus he bragged about causing has consequences

Even paying users have a rate limit. It's a ridiculous idea, especially financially.

The old subreddit had one rule: you had to make a post before leaving. People started just saying "rule" in the title as a joke about begrudgingly complying with the rule.

He doesn’t even use his own brain.

He likes to watch the numbers go up but beyond that, I suppose less than we might think.

the rules don't apply to him

he did

To Elon's credit (🤮) he did say temporary limits. Of course he lies constantly so who knows.

You are really underestimating his stupidity.

Then they’ll just do this sort of thing based on IP address and I’ll have to start yelling at my dad for looking at too many tweets

"see? Despite limiting access we actually gained users"

Good human

Aren't replies also considered tweets? Click on 1 popular tweet and it counts as 10+ tweets due to the replies automatically loading.

Each time a tweet enters your viewport, it's considered a view. If you have 10 tweets visible on your screen, that's 10 from your quota already.

Reading posts? 600 would go by very quickly and 6000 could be scrolled through by a power user pretty easily which sucks for a paid account.

Honestly, I'm not convinced. I think he's just really that dumb. I showed it to someone else who works in IT and their reaction was that it sounded like a lot of management they've worked with: people who have no idea under god how anything works and refuse to listen to why their idea is functionally terrible. Even if you swear up and down it will ruin the entire product, they want it done now, because they want it.

That seems perfectly in line with the kind of moron I've heard he is.

It's because it's an r/196 reboot.

r/196 used to be a subreddit with only one rule: that if you visited the subreddit, you had to post something before you left. Didn't matter what it was, but it's why their reiterations in the fediverse seem to much more active than anywhere else.

Whether adding "rule" to the title was a part of it, idk, but I think that part's just a meme habit

This is off topic for this post but the community 196 has a rule that if you visit it you must post. Thus the posts with the title "rule".
