Twitter users will face new limitations on the number of tweets they can view per day, according to a tweet from the company’s billionaire owner Elon Musk on Saturday.

“To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits,” Musk tweeted, before announcing that verified accounts would be limited to reading 6,000 posts per day, unverified accounts to 600 posts per day and new unverified accounts to 300 posts per day.

Before Musk unveiled Twitter’s new policy, users were met with a message reading “rate limit exceeded,” when trying to view content. Enough users were confused by the alert that “#TwitterDown” was trending in the U.S. on Saturday morning.

The announcement is the latest in a series of major changes for the social media company, including the appointment of a new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, who took over the role from Musk in June. Upon her appointment, Musk tweeted that Yaccarino would “focus primarily on business operations,” while he would stay focused on “product design & technology.”

Musk also made waves last week as he appeared to agree to a fight against Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Musk on Friday tweeted “some chance fight happens in Colosseum,” after reports that Italy’s minister of culture reached out to the two tech giants offering to coordinate the fight at the historical site.

Viewing 300 twitter posts in a day is probably a form of self-harm.

 

[Wooper]

Uh this is stupid. I follow less than fifty accounts some of them are addicted to Twitter and will retweet all sorts of stupid shit. Like scrolling through 300 posts would not take long. Now imagine an account who follows more or is using it to read on a news story/topic.
I'm taking a bet that this will be overturned by the 4th of July.

Musk continues to run Twitter into the fucking ground while simultaneously making an ass of himself with his cringe tweets.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Any day I see Twitter addicts seething is a good day.

Yes, and my oh my is it beautiful.

Everytime I see Musk doing something I'm reminded that his extreme wealth is generational stemming from South African blood diamond mines because man is this guy not bright and someone who makes terrible business decisions.

Musk is one of the few people that actually makes me seriously consider the political left's point that money alone should not guarantee power or influence.

He is not smart, not even a little bit.

You do realise that many artists post their art primarily to twitter and viewing 300 pictures in a day is no biggie? (Is this a Pixiv revival in the making?)

I love a good trainwreck.

That’s a very good point. God, Twitter artists just keep getting shafted left and right. Also their community has unfortunately a bad rep what with all the grooming and weird pedo stuff with the fandom.

His greatest service to mankind. His Magnus Opus. We shall forever be grateful.

I hope he buys Reddit next. Imagine Bardfinns facial expression.

There’s nothing more painful to watch than a guy attempt to shitpost and be edgy and utterly fail at it. It’s like a retarded AI program studied /b/ posts from 2010 and tried to recreate that vibe.

Damn, either Elon must be huffing some of the good shit, there's still saboteurs among Twitter staff, or some outside actors are really trying to test Twitter's (lack of) capability.

Still not interested in signing back up for it just to view the salt being generated by Twitter addicts, though.

Do we know what role the new CEO had in this new decree? Does Musk still make all the big decisions regarding policies and whatnot?

 

[Big moth tiddies]

Well this sucks. An average tranny seethe tweet chain can be fifty or more posts easily. Less time on twitter is a net positive overall though.

Maybe this’ll finally be what gets twomad to stop his sperging and go get medicated for his obvious manic depression.

Your guess is as good as mine! I wouldn't doubt the new WEF-aligned CEO bitch may have a hand in this too but there's no real way to tell right now, not while Twitter seems to be under digital siege.

LOL Kevin Gibes on suicide watch rn

 

[Burd Turglar]

Is this like a weird, back handed intervention for all the twitter addicts?

@General Disarray So is Fatrick lol

 

[Haramburger]

"There's too many bots and alts!"
>make it so you need bots and alts to even read the service
"Why is there an uptick in bots and alts?"

 

[WonderWino]

Somehow I doubt this will last very long. It'll piss too many users off, and not in the way they're trying to
