I’m not tech expert in fact I’m quite dumb when it comes to tech.
BUT HOW DOES ONE MANAGE TO DDOS YOURSELF HOW CAN… I… WHAT
When the cringy rich dingus tells you to code something that is impossible to do with the current infrastructure and the timeframe but instead of explaining because you know he’ll have a temper tantrum, you just do the best you can knowing it won’t work but are already looking for other jobs so you don’t actually care that much.
as someone pointed out on the Mastodon thread, a large chunk of the employees still left are on visas and they can’t just quit …
Is this real??
I can’t imagine it’s hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.
I never really used twitter, but if I used it like i use ANY other social media site, yeah. I would fill that up in like an hour… and I use these sites all day long…
Oh, absolutely. It seriously discourages any kind of conversation, because no one will want to read through the replies and waste their content limit.
All attention will be skewed from heavily favoring big accounts to catering ONLY to big accounts, who may see a drop off in fan interaction for the same reason. People respond to celebrity accounts to gush and ask venue/content questions and such. This is the death knell to any of those questions ever being seen.
For myself, I used to follow a TON of microflashfic accounts, which by self-imposed rules are short, concise stories told in 140 characters or less. A bit like r/twosentencehorror but they tended to feel a lot more impactful.
I loved and miss them, and I consider it a lost art that I wish I could bring at least to mastodon. But because they fit in less than a single tweet by necessity, I could easily read through a hundred in 20 minutes if I just went through the tag.
Yeah it’s real: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672
Soon you will only have access to the post button 24 times a day. Elon gotta watch his limit.
Imagine making it harder to engage with your platform that depends on engagement to exist.
So paywall Twitter? Cool.
