Twitter has collapsed I think

[bartosimpsonio]

Can't do anything. Nothing works, all web services seem down from here.

Anyone else?

 

[serponaut]

Same here

Nice!! Good job Elong!
Looks like he took down the main api? Or probably wanted to charge his phone, so he unplugged a server or something?

With Elong, you never know.

what?
READING 300 posts per day?
hahaha omg.

You know, a part of me is secretly delighted that social media is going up in flames.

 

[noellarkin]

Working fine

not if you view more than 300 tweets. Try it. I just did, scrolled until I started getting "rate limit exceeded".

Very clever(or dumb) way to get more verified users.

Wow this is massive.

Elon has a bot obsession.
How long for having to solve a CAPTCHA for every tweet that you see there?
300 CAPTCHA for new users.

he said it's temporary limitation

Elon has a bot obsession.

He was losing the war on bots anyway. Things are much "worse" (bot-wise) than last year.

so just use more throw away accounts for scraping, problem solved lol .. scraping cant be stopped completely.

Who reads 300 posts that too on Twitter chat bots?

Who reads 300 posts that too on Twitter chat bots?

300 posts is basically the first burst when I access a large account. Doomscrolling for 2 minutes reaches the limit.

It's over. Twitter has collapsed.

i'm curious what your business model is if you're needing to scrape 300+ posts a day. how are you turning that into money? how much money are you getting from it and is that worth it? what does your use of that content do to the twitter community? and if your goal is to hurt twitter with your bots then isn't elon doing the right thing here?
