I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.

an Elon musk tweet  To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:  - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/dayALT

IT GETS WORSE!

“This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed’s been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I’m being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it’s jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon’s latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It’s amateur hour.”

So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a “free” account.

Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn’t know WHY it isn’t loading, so it keeps TRYING.

Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.

This is so completely amateurish it’s unbelievable. It’s like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it’s making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.

I saw someone on Mastodon who used to work at Twitter say that the rate limit is the one bit of Twitter you DO NOT TOUCH if you can help it because it’s very likely to make the whole thing fall over.

Just tried eating an orange like an appl. I see why we don’t do this

I had a friend who did this on a bus one time when we were still teens and after chewing out my friend for that, the bus driver turned to me and said “I don’t understand why you spend time with someone like that. You seem like a decent girl.”

Happy disability pride, but are you normal about people with visible disabilities and deformities/differences?

Do you think the actor with marfan syndrome who always plays the horror monster is scary? Do you judge your classmate with cerebral palsy who walks with a limp and always has? Do you still stare at the double amputee homeless vet you see downtown? Do you avoid eye contact with your friend’s kid who has Treacher-Collins? Do you ask a sexual partner if their hidradenitis flair is an STD? Do you ask for censorship when the scarred guy in your discord server posts photos? Do you compare the girl at the beach with pectus excavatum to “looking anorexic?” Do you ask if your fat disabled friend really is disabled or they instead just need to lose weight?

Congratulations, you might be ableist. Yes, you yourself might even be disabled as well, but if you think these ways, you are ableist.
