We need someone to fast track a better platform asap.
Spoutible is pretty darn good if you want to explore another option.

Gots to build those user account stats so you can say you're growing when you've done nothing but force non regular users to sign up for account.

This is why Youtube is so much better than Twitter at this. Besides not forcing you to log in to look around, they also force the ads on you before you watch the content. I have no idea what Twitter’s strategy here is, but I’m kind of interested in how the prediction of it becoming immensely valuable plays out.

It will go about the same as his Tesla FSD prognostications. A lot of unfounded gloating followed by failure.

It was not immediately clear whether the change was an intentional policy update or a glitch, both of which have been common at Twitter since Musk took over the platform.

I suspect this is a test for a few days or a week to see how many "viewer only" users they have and if they can entice new signups. I suspect that most people don't bother.

So what happened? Yeah I can't view tweets anymore either, but it appears I'm logged in and I check twitter regularly. I thought this only affected stagnant accounts...or is this something else entirely? What a mess lol

anyone else having problems with Twitter today? Whenever I try to load it in my browser, it just says "Something went wrong. Try reloading" ... and sometimes I even get a "Sorry, you are rate limited" message, whatever the heck that means.

Yeah this seems beyond what was being discussed in here yesterday. I think it may have just straight up crashed this morning. But what do I know..

Who knew that unplugging random servers and avoiding paying any bills could have consequences?

it's obviously just part of Elon's great masterplan, we're just too dumb to understand his ingenuity.

It says I'm 'rate limited'. What in the hell does that mean? I just opened it. That's all I did.

I really hope Elon is losing his #### right now, and the remaining engineers just walk away.

Seems to be fine again. Either that or my "limit" has been reset and I'll get booted again soon enough...

UPDATE: nope, broke again lol. I had it back for about 10 mins

I use Twitter daily and have been experiencing glitches for weeks. They’re minor for me.
