Elon Musk said verified accounts would be limited to reading 6,000 posts per day while unverified users will be limited to 600.

Don't forget: new unverified accounts are capped at just 300 posts. Once someone hits the limit, there's also no way for them to see Elon's announcement of the change. Great design.

Sadly, I'm sure spez is taking notes.

Who the FUCK is spez? Sounds like the name of some mentally deranged, wholly incompetent groomer. The only name I can think of that’s stupider is, idk, something like “Steve Huffman.”

I saw a screenshot of some Musk tweets stating that he’s already raising the limits to slightly larger numbers. I’m not sharing that info in his or twitters defense, I don’t use twitter. Just thought it was interesting that he’s raising the limits so quickly, probably quicker than desired due to the immediate public outlash!

I wonder if they already fixed twitter ddos attacking itself from earlier today.

Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.

Again, that’s the rumor.

Hugely believable. The place is running on skeleton crew who have to waste time catering to Musk's ego whims.

I also read that when you hit the limit on desktop, the webpage sends 10 requests every few seconds. It looks like the Frontensegeln doesn‘t have the functionality to deal with the limit.
