It's very useful for sports and breaking news. Can see a normal (unverified) user burning through those limits quick. Great user engagement!
I’ve traded sports and breaking news commentary in Twitter in for Reddit about 10 years ago.
Not sure where to go now. Lemmy doesn’t have the volumes (yet at least) for the same amount of user engagement with these events. Perhaps it’s better like this anyway, no use being that engaged all the time.
I'm in a similar position when it comes to sports, football (soccer) in particular. The instances are still new, so I've been trying to engage in the comments and upvoting all the posts. It oddly reminds me of early Reddit when there were far fewer users and it felt more intimate, like you'd know everyone on the sports subreddit lol. I think instance on the Fediverse/Lemmy will continue to grow over time, just keep engaging :)
Also why things like emergency services really ought to be elsewhere... imagine people not getting the latest update because they ran out of tweets to view.
