>>108863700This just kills Twitter (formerly: Twitter) faster than it already was dying by.>Paid Social MediaOnly sheep will use that.
>significant restrictionsThese are very generous regardless of paid status, actually
wow that's fucking nothing and i dont even use it>4 email changes per hourfucking what for? more like per month, are they sure they dont want to be botted to shit?
>>108863721do you ever get tired of being wrong?
>oh no, i can only follow an account every minute for 6 and a half hours, whatever shall i do?
>>108863700No? People won't pay for this garbage, it's useless.
>>108863721they're basically ripping off rightoids and indians, the only people nowadays who pay for ads on twitter. kinda based
>>108863971You mean Indians, Nigerians, Pakis, Turks, Latinx and other thirdworlders. Even "American" accounts are ran by immigrants.There's no rightoids on Twitter, it's all just engagement farms eating their own shit in a circle. And now with free accounts being useless, they can really just count on engagement from each other.
>>108863700Eh these restrictions are nothing crazy. But I can see someone that only uses shitter losing their mind over it.
>50 posts & 200 replies per day>500 dms per dayYou would have to be mental to want more than this, let alone pay for it.
>>108864262OH wait nevermind it's to squeeze bot account hosters for their cash, never mind. This only seems to affects them.
>>108863721>This just kills Twitter (formerly: Twitter) faster than it already was dying by.Twitter is doing fine. Every Twitter-killer clone that's tried to take over has died a slow and miserable death.* BlueSky - only retarded leftists (but that's redundant) post on it* Threads - literally only one lawyer from Utah bothers to read it* gab.io - murdered by jealous techlords because it tried to replace Censored Twitter* I forget what the other one was that tried to become "right wing Twitter" back when "@Jack"hole had it, but it's dead too
>>108863700Good I hope it kills twitter its utter shit and alwas was. Peak namefaggotry and mainly used for disinfo and lies spammed by morally bankrupt third worlders and retards .
>>108863700why do you need more than 200 replies a day?400 follows per day??? thats super considerate of them
this only affects botsidgaf
>>108864274>Twitter is doing fine. Every Twitter-killer clone that's tried to take over has died a slow and miserable death.A mesaure of the shit state of he face of the earh. You sound like some fucking rearded jeet with a python script who 'lives' by making 5$ a day spamming garbage. Neck yourself. What the fuck are you even doing here fuck off to shitter and pleebbit and facefuck stay here.
>>108864287How bad could the botting be if these are the reasonable limitations to them?
it's only a matter of time before all social media is divided between the gated communities of paid accounts and the free tier which will be 98% bots, 1% people too retarded to realize they're talking to bots, and 1% people too poor to afford a few dollars a month to escape bot hell.
>>108863700>>x introduces limits to free accounts>>500 dms per day>>50 posts & 200 replies per day>>4 email changes per hour>>400 follows per day>>5000 follows maxwho gives a shit? I use twitter as a glorified art gallery for CJK art. I don't talk to people. I don't post. I don't reply. I don't change emails. I follow at most 2-3 new artists a week. it's been 6 years and I only follow ~700 artists
>>108863700>>108863738seems like anti bot restrictions to me maybe
>>108863700>OH NO WHO COULD IMAGINE THIS MY GOD NOT THE ELON MUSK THE IRON MAN HE IS SO COOL HOW HE COULD DO THISragebait bot website, the old Internet is dead
>>108864274>people are stuck with the sunken fallacy>they are raped in the ass daily and platform still dive into the deep shit >le Platform is fine, look at the Others>Others never had a chance against endless inertia and endless moneyno, Twitter is not fine from any perspective
>>108863700Were these not already the current restrictions? I've ran into the 5k limit quite a few times. Lots of doujinshi artists to follow. I'm still not going to pay for it.
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourLike changing the email for the account? 4 per hour? That's a stupid amount.
>>108864304>bot accounts can't buy premiumthe actual fuck with this thinking. I literally orchestrated bots on x.shit and all of them were "verified" because that makes your account to look better from the system point. Paid accounts everywhere made FOR bots, never AGAINST them.
>>108863700maybe it will help some people quit.
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourholy shit dude who the fuck needs this other than jeets? just nuke that entirely.
>>108863721Twitter is the internetEvery place that isn't twitter is discussing twitter screenshotsmusk won
>>108864274Bluesky isn't that bad, I just stay in my bubble on it and I don't really get any of the serious political stuff on it. Honestly people getting mad at bsky are the type of people who specifically try to dig up things to be mad at.
>>108863700I don't even log into twitter once a month anymore.
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourNOOO!!!!
>>108863700>>significant restrictions>500 dms per day>50 posts & 200 replies per dayIs this more than needed by anybody but the blue-hairest of feminists and terminally online chuds?
>>108863700>>4 email changes per hour?
>>108863738Everyone else is reading it wrong, but you get it. This isn't a set of strict restrictions, its an ad to let spammers know about the product tiers available to them.
>>108864280your description matches Twitter before Elonwe are talking about current Twitter
>>108863700>significant>reasonable daily limitswhats so significant?
>>108863721This restrictions seem like they will only hurt spammers. If I was meeting any of thes quantities I would seek mental help and I have had an account since 2009 and feel like I spend way too much time on social media as is? Twitter had a really good API and a really good streaming API and I invested some months of time learning to really operate it and was comfy. Then Musk bought it about promptly put the streaming API behind a $5000/MONTH paywall
>>108864495Go back.
>>108863700Let's try do list things only a bot would do on xitter:>500 dms per day>50 posts & 200 replies per day>4 email changes per hour>400 follows per day>5000 follows max
>>108864704> an ad to let spammers know about the product tiers available to themThis
>>108864495I'm trans btw
the only thing that maybe would affect me is the max follows but only if it doesn't automatically unfollow porn artists when they get banned and make a new account bots are kinda silly I literally never post or retweet anything and I still have a bunch of bots following me so they might as well make money on them I suppose
>>108863700>nooo i need to sit on shitter all day long spamming out 500 indian scam DMs and 250 posts every day while changing my emails 4 times an hour and following 400 onlyfans sluts every single day
>>108864274If it was doing fine, they wouldn't be forced to keep making it worse.
>>108863700The fact that there are no similar platforms that advertise themselves as "free speech" says a lot about who controls the media.
>>108863700I see no problem with this. In fact I want it even more restrictive
>>108863700You have to be mentally ill to use social media.You have to be put down if you pay to use social media.
>>108864902I upload to danbooru. There's this account I use as a curation tool belonging to a retired elderly Japanese man who spends his entire day retweeting obscure artwork from the 6500+ accounts he follows.
>>108864902So anyone paying for the higher limits is a bot? Can't disagree.
>>108863700never made an account and will never make an account :)
>>108864274Bluesky is better than gab Gab is just a cesspool of retarded /pol/fags and boomers
>>108864274>Threadsoh if only you guys knew what's going down on Threads. It's the fucking wild west of pizza
I NEED THE FEED
>>108863700Bad change. Musk must be hurting for money.
>>108863721Sorry, I can't handle being impeded by CAPTCHAs.
>>108864274>* BlueSky - only retarded leftists (but that's redundant) post on itWhile I don't completely disagree that BlueSky is just Xhitter if it had sloppy unprotected sex with Tumblr, that's still pretty reductiveIf you don't involve yourself in politics, it's decent enough, and you don't really have to whore yourself for an algorithm to be seen so it's plus.
finaly done their bot project
>>108863700Don't you have to give au10tix your dox before musk will let you give him your money?
>i'm following 5001 japsOh no
>>108863721>Twitter (formerly: Twitter)dilate
>>108865414Too bad danbooru literally paywalls content and complies with mentally ill artists' DMCAs.
>>108863700Hashchans and more broadly the central serverless architecture continues to roll downhill . As botspam drowns sites unable to handle it, natural monopolies forms around the big tech platforms, which will than enshittify on their now captive userbase.Hashchan has already raced itself to the bottom, providing the most efficient way to obtain speech = reach without making an account on a central blackbox server
>>108863721i have never seen twitter this active which is crazy because threads has now more mobile users.>>108863721>>Paid Social Media4chan pass.
Almost all the old fags of /g/ have moved to twitter now
>>108863700>4 email changes per hour
>>108863700I dont see why not, if people have this idiotic need of sharing and showing everybody their life, why not gain from it? if normies want to keep runing the internet at least make them pay
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourNever used twitter, what's the use case for changing your email so often?
>>108863700I await the death of the internet.
>>108863993>Leftoid upset he's a microscopically small minority and his ideology is universally hated and people can see it now
>>108863700>>4 email changes per hourwho does that?
>>108866189>BlueSky is just Xhitter if it had sloppy unprotected sex with TumblrI'm not sure if this sounds hot or disgusting. @grok help me decide.
>>108864704honestly haven't thought of thati mean it's obviously botted you can check it very easily but uberizing bots is new level of jewery, which i can almost respect in a certain way
>>108863700You know thats just how shitty life is. Of course my favorite social media platform even before elonfuckhead took over is going to be ruined by this piece of shit even more. The JP merge bullshit now this. Then restricting custom clients.
>>108863700That's fine I barely use my accountFor all I care they can delete it
>>108864274go back to your containment board
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourWho the fuck changes their e-mail even once per hour?
>>108863721I am using Kagi, so I am fine with paying for social media, but it's not going to be fucking Twitter god damn
>>108863793ThisLMAO
>>108864274trvketrannies seething at this
>>108864405sounds like you're just a tranny and cannot separate your castration ideology from reality. wishful thinking doesn't make it so
>>108864906>>108867454>responding to AI>[fellates you]. this isn't X, it's Y.
>>108863700>4 email changes per hourHow will scammers cope?
>>108863700I hope so. Anything to keep shitlibs, turd-worlders and - above all - w*m*n is A-OK in my book.
>>108863721they are exploiting peoples tendencies and addictions man. x is charging for the dopamine people got hooked while their government watched
>>108867029
>>108863700Rate limits were already the deathknell of ex-Twitter, so this is not surprising.
>>108865749Bluesky is just Gab for shitlibs andsoylennials
>>108863700I follow more than 5000 hentai accounts alone...
>>108863721There's a lot of sheep.
>>108866167i want hiroshimoot to have my neetbux so he can keep acting as if 4chan doesnt exist
>>108863700Remember a year or two ago when you'd get rate limited after reading a few dozens of posts? This isn't anywhere near as strict. Although that limitation had no logic in it either.>>108863700
>>108865749It just shows you're a tranny communist, you commie troons are the same as gab neo nazis
>>108864274Parler? That was maliciously killed harder than gab iirc.
>>108863700Social media has been cannibalising itself to increase metrics that shareholders like for years now. Every year the platforms get worse and the active user base (excluding bots) declines, while remaining users get milked dry with shit like this. Everyone under 40 is leaving it in droves meanwhile younger people have switched over to discord servers and Whatsapp group chats.Fuck social media I'm glad it's declining I just hope that whatever replaces it is better and we'll see a return to the golden age of decentralized chatrooms (I know this is wildly optimistic and I will be disappointed)
>>108863721What are you talking about? I don't think you've used it recently. Numerous paid accounts already existed and will only increase, not to mention brand pages that cost 10k/year.
>>108872658Overall fewer people use it, but of the remaining users more become paid members
>>108863700you want to spam = you pay.based elon ripping the indians
