Real talk - twitter is one of the only ways I know how to find good art and commission artists, especially from other countries, so I am actually pretty bummed out.

Tumblr has a really good artist community.

I am confused. I hear that there is supposed to be view limits, but I also hear that is a cover because they pushed code that caused a self DDOS?

Either way: LOL

Its a mix of both. The view limit implementation is causing the self DDoS.

Whoever it was in this thread or the GBS Musk thread that said “they broke something, they don’t know how to fix it, Elon is peddling the “view limit” idea as cover for their fuckup, and when it’s fixed he’ll say “due to user feedback we’ve removed the rate limit” was, I believe, totally right.

Several have, and considering it started right on the beginning of Q3 I also totally believe someone at Google called his bluff and he's getting massively rate-limited upstream and trying to hide it.

So what's SUPPOSED to happen is you get your 600 network calls per-day, and after that the API tells you to gently caress off, you've hit your limit (Payload returned, contents: "NO", basically). What's actually happening, to my understanding, is you get your 600 network calls, and then the API stops talking to you altogether. Which in API terms means your client thinks something has gone wrong in sending the API its payload, so it tries again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And...

At the rate he's going I'm convinced Elon's gonna gently caress something up bad enough to require a cold restart. And after that it'll just go offline and never return because nobody knows how to make that happen and re-stage everything properly.

Best part is Elon off to the side with a poo poo eating grin on his face.
Then he announces pre-orders start the next year.

Then comes next year and they trundle out something that can't walk more than 4 steps, and looks like its a reject from this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHhD4PD75zY
I just want to add that the one they trundled out that barely moved is one they built at the last minute out of off-the-shelf components because the in-house revolutionary technology ones weren't ready to go by the due date. As usual. But don't worry, they'll definitely be ready next time.

yeah irregardless of the view limit the sites completely broken. even if the view limit is an intentional thing nothing else here is. its extremely inconsistent how many views you get, some people have been browsing all day with no stoppage. even if you hit your 'view limit,' you can still look at people's likes. when you hit your 'view limit' it doesnt go 'thats enough for today champ' its like 'please try again in a few minutes' and just constantly looks like an error message. some people are logging on for the first time for the day and getting that message. even if you havent hit your 'view limit' sometimes pictures and replies completely fail to load.

the site's just busted to gently caress. even if he decides to 'turn off' the view limits he seems to have caused massive technical problems. i dont know if the site ever gets back to normal functionality.

It's interesting to me that Elon's choice of words has a propensity, at all, to stray close to the topic of loving people's wives. @jack seems to be doing his best here given that Twitter was his baby.
