I'm personally going for the 'they need to slam traffic down hard to cope with capacity limits after a lot of their supplier plans that they can't or don't pay ticked over on July 1st' theory.

If Threads can streamline art content to me better than Instagram itself does and more along the lines of how Twitter does it, then that's the one for me.

I mean honestly this isn't just good good poo poo I'm really glad Twitter is going to loving die as one of the most monetized things on the loving planet because Elon musk is literally running this thing like somebody runs raid Shadow Legends or aeon cume play mlord bullshit

that comparison is deeply unfair to both raid and aeon given that you’re citing advertising strategies that at least facially align with a plausible business model, not a move that torpedos the entire value proposition for everyone

How are these people still even using Twitter? I don't mean that in a rhetorical sense, I mean other than embedded Tweets nothing seems to be working right now. If I click on a Tweet it doesn't even load a login screen, it just throws up an error.

Even though I'm rate limited, I can still click on links and see tweets through Twitter Messages, which is WILD. And I can still RT/QRT via this method, even post a tweet if I jump through enough hoops, but then I can't see the fruits of my labor.

It may be that all the people who got granted Twitter Blue for having 1m+ followers aren't being limited at all, or are being prioritised in some way.

YES, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS ABSOLUTELY A KAIJU
Embedded tweets have been working for me through the whole thing, but I couldn't click to see the full tweet this morning and I can now, so it seems like they fixed something.

I was wondering if mr freeze peach was getting raked over the coals for the view limit since you combo that with front-loading tweets from blue checks only and then you really are limiting speech on your platform. They mostly just seem to be dunking on him for it being a stupid idea, which is fine too.

Not believing this is on purpose, they probably broke something and are covering it up with 'yeah it was on purpose'.
If I hit retry a few times things do load, sometimes, other times everything is just broken.
They just slapped a 'You're rate limited' banner on the bottom while they're trying to fix whatever's wrong.
I'm not even seeing "rate limited", I just keep getting "cannot retrieve Tweets" and almost nothing new is loading.
