50 posts a day!? If you hit 50 posts a day they should just ban you.

If these restrictions are significant, please seek therapy

Why the fuck do people still use Twitter? Why would you pay to use social media? You're already the product, and now you're going to pay to be the fucking product? Are you stupid?

This is enshitification, but it might be indirectly helping people who are on Twitter too much 😄

It doesn't do much to bot farms since they can keep spinning up more accounts

Does anyone actually reach those numbers? Is this a crackdown on bots?

Oh, man, this will affect tens of people.

Its so hard for me to believe that there are people out there for whom this will be an issue. Who are these people and what's wrong with them?

Mastodon doesn't have these limits.

Oh, no!

Anyway...

That means I'll end each day having only 50 posts remaining...

Even when I had an account years ago there was not a single day I posted/replied/commented/shared more than 1-3 times a day (1-3 interactions a day)

It was never my thing really so it was easy to remove from my life.

Who cares. Piece of shit platform.

Oh no! The nazi bar has set a drink limit! Guess I'll just have to continue not drinking there.

Let me get this straight.....

Elon musk buys twitter for 44 BILLION dollars with the expectation that it will help be influencial towards societies general conversation.

So then he starts turning twitter into a right wing cesspool, and some users start leaving. Granted, not nearly enough. I think I read about 30% of the site has left, but thats still far too many who haven't left.

So despite his stupidity, he still has a sizeable platform. And his thought process is......"hey, you know those influencial voices we have on society? Lets limit those!"

So now they are reducing the amount of messages their users can put out into the world.

..........so what is even the goal here? Are they just doing things to stay in the news?

The upside of Twitter's downfall has been the absence of "look what so and so said in a tweet" headlines.

This is great! We need more enshittification on X!

Since 2007 or so, I haven't seen a good use case for Xitter other than situations where mass messaging is necessary. Like a utility company announcing maintenance or outages. Why do people care so much about what other people think?

My dear mother taught me that opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink.

Wise woman.

Good, will make people get off Xwitter.

But the bots will be less effective. I bet the API charges are going up soon.

I'm happy to say that the only time I've ever even been on twitter was to check down times on destiny 2 servers which at the time was literally the only place they'd post stuff like that... Nobody knows why... But then again it's bungie... So...

Fortunately, now I'm using mastodon

Great news. Go on Elon!!! Kill your platform!!! Do it!!!

Do real people use this? Though it was just bots and trolls...

How could anyone limit themselves to 50 posts on apartheid-fan-boi.facist?

Another wave in the making.

omgawd sucker. I want it to speed up. Omgawd loser turds

If 50 posts and 200 replies is a significant restriction y'all need to touch grass.
