jesus, you can do 600 in 20 mins of a football match. oh well...

[Elmo!]

Excuse my ignorance, why do people use third party apps rather than the primary Reddit app?

Because their own app is shite.

Also, it's a niche thing, but their own app apparently is terrible for accessibility features - it doesn't work with iOS's inbuilt screen reading technology for people with visual impairments for example.

Nice one, appreciate the reply.

I don’t have issues with reading, but otherwise find their app to be pretty good. Stable, quick, never had any issues with it.

I’ve often heard folks complain about it and never understood why. For what Reddit is - it’s delivered perfectly on their app.

[TepidT2O]

I suspect this is the real reason

[Jwils21]

Made a new account yesterday to follow the transfer news etc. Deleted it already

[Raaphael]

So is this how it will be from now on? Then it’s useless.

If only Elon hadn't sacked 75% of the workforce, eh?

Completely moved to Twitter many years ago. This is my first post in here since 2018. What a moronic fucking idiot Elon is. Back to the basics it is.

I'm waiting for the alternative to twitter to crop up then it's getting immediately fucked off.

I have indeed. No denying it. Please be nice.

I think it depends what you want from reddit. Ironically that was sort of the whole point of reddit, you used to be able to choose what you saw.

The official app is so oriented towards images and videos now, if you just want to read things then you get about 3 lines before you need to scroll a whole new page. RIF made it more like being on RAWK for the amount of text you got on screen.

Bizarrely twitter lists works without issue and you can view as many tweets as you like…

It’s shot to hell.  A total and utter fuck up.

[classycarra]

they really do have awful quality control

Things are going great, eh Twitter? 😂 Notice the jiggling scroll bar and the rate limit message. Looks like the broken home feeds were resulting in a self DDOS by causing everyone's browser to repeatedly attempt to refresh in an endless loop. #TwitterDown

If anyone's wondering why you're getting Rate Limit Exceeded it's because Twitter's using your browser to DDOS itself. Nice job Elon! This is a breathtaking fuck up. It looks like my browser was firing off about 10 requests a second.  #TwitterDown

Elon Musk taking Twitter and saying to the world "This is my space"...

An incident like this really drives home just how much a lot of us rely on one crazy man's plaything for our news. I mean, there's no way we'll announce Szob until Twitter's fully functional because those tweets with him wearing (presumably) the away kit will result in thousands of direct sales and god knows how many extra follows from people in Hungary. It's a really sad state of affairs.

We need Tom to come back and say "This is Myspace"

I refuse to believe anybody would willingly wear the away kit to announce a new deal. I say that as somebody who has the original 1995 green square kit that was a surprise gift when I opened up my suitcase for my year spent studying in New York, so as not to forget Liverpool. Yanks named it a beer shirt.

[GreatEx]

Perhaps Musk is playing a wonderful game of 4D chess, exposing the right wing zealots for the imbeciles they are - absolute free speech becomes conditional free speech becomes paid speech becomes restricted paid speech, the value of which is determined uniquely by the tithes you pour into the pockets of the world's richest man - yet they whoop and holler and belittle those who don't meekly submit as freeloaders... 

Nah, I didn't think so either. Just standard billionaire narcissist behaviour. The first layer of the onion is peeled back revealing only a puff of dusty hot air.

[Phineus]

Doing this to an ad driven service is some galaxy brain thinking for sure.

If he doesn’t reverse this he’s genuinely killed it - I don’t have Facebook but I’ll probably set up an account to see what their alternative is like when it launches.

[cheesemason]

Been about 10 hours since I’ve been able to see any new tweets now. What an absolute shitshow

I dunno if the club will hold a transfer up over this Instagram and tiktok both have over 1B users (twitter around 450m), the club has 42m followers on instagram.

They’ve now closed this loophole.

Madness.

Even if I paid for a blue tick it wouldn’t be usable like this

[jillcwhomever]

Just a shit show all round.

[Trada]

I  wonder when Bluesky will go public its been invite only for months now.

Bluesky temporarily halts sign-ups because so many people are joining from Twitter

[RedBec1993]

Musk has ran Twitter into the ground, can’t view tweets/comments and I definitely haven’t viewed 600 today.

Not a chance I’m paying £11 a month for a blue tick.

Half an hour of scrolling and my 800 ran out… (it’s gone up to 800 now)

Even 8000 wouldn’t be enough, so why pay?

Plus, I’ve just changed my phone and can’t sign into the app on my new one.  Bizarre behaviour

How do you know when you've reached your limit, do you get a message?

[TepidT2O]

it just says “rate limit exceeded”.

Musk hasn’t paid the bill for his servers… that’s what this will be

Obviously not reached my limit yet then. Just crazy, a millionaire who doesn't pay his bills, who'd have known.

Which makes it worse lol

But surely this is the perfect opportunity for a Twitter replacement. Bluesky doesn't seem to be up and running fully yet

I can't even do that now.
