How the fuck is Reddit closing their API behind a ridiculous paywall only the SECOND stupidest social media move of the day
Boy I sure picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue
Well I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines!
The day is not over yet
I for one am cheering its demise.
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.
Limit rating your core audience in their primary task is completely batshit crazy. Thank fuck for mastodon.
He is so unbelievably dumb?? 😅
Fucking lol.
Keep punching yourself in the dick, elmo.
By post he means tweet, right? Google says average tweet length is only around 30 characters and average word length around 5 characters. So let’s say it’s 8 words with abbreviation which would take 2 seconds to read. If it’s 4 seconds per tweet with scrolling then you can now only spend under an hour on Twitter without paying. Good on him for fighting against social media addiction I guess.
I got rate limited in 25 minutes by refreshing my Following feed and reading about people getting rate limited. I don’t think it counts 600 unique tweets since I definitely reloaded the same tweets multiple times.
Traditional internet is killing itself
The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.
They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.
Nah, Web 2.0 is killing itself. Turns out dipshit greedy pig boys aren’t great at running social platforms
I would say the traditional internet was before the time of corporate ruled media, so in that case I’d say corporate internet is killing itself and and media is going back to traditional, at least with respect to the Fediverse.
Just these monolithic social media companies really. And I don’t really consider anything “web 2.0” to be traditional internet. Newgrounds was traditional internet.
Limit READIND is something new. What a creative move!
The funny thing is I’m pretty sure replies, tweets, and retweets all count toward that (if they’re using the same rules as the API), so basically that just kills the majority of your user base.
Talk about killing the goose that laid golden eggs…
Wow that’s my Twitter and Reddit account deleted within 24 hours
This is the result of a deranged fascist being born with an apartheid silver spoon in his mouth.
Probably an emerald spoon in his case.
Indeed!
But there’s no proof his father even owned emerald mines!! I mean outside public records and his father’s admission and assertion that it’s true!!
Name me one piece of evidence outside that!! You can’t
