Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.

The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

not sure if I understand your take on that. "..." leaves a lot of room for interpretation...

It just means I have no words for this kind of buffoonery.

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/day

so like if you embed a tweet here in can't read it since I've never had an account?

okay, read up on the situation. wow is musk a Franz Ferdinand.

I feel like this has to be a short lived change.

If it's not, this might actually be the death of Twitter. The changes being made massively undermine the strength of Twitter.

Pretty sure this is the one situation where you can still read a tweet...

Tweets aren't showing up in Google results as often because of changes at Twitter - The Verge

Twitter showing up less on Google due to changes.

It's kind of amazing to me. Lots of industries that are basically built on gaming people and search engines. Twitter going the other way.

no idea what is going to happen with zuckerburg's threads but i can say it is releasing at nearly the ideal time. had it launched 6 months earlier it would be dead on arrival. 6 months later is probably too late. instead it is launching almost to the day perfectly with musk's twitter seppuku...

DID YOU MAKE YOUR THREADS ACCOUNT YET?

LOOK: #Meta officially launches #Threads on Thursday, July 6, as Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, announced on his official Facebook account.

Echoe chamber and Facebook combined. No thanks!

nnodley · Jul 06, 2023, 02:01 PM

I made a threads. Lets see how it goes. Probably will be my alternative to twitter. Twitter just needs to go.

But i'm only gonna use it mostly in a professional sense

SWORDF1SH · Jul 06, 2023, 04:32 PM

It baffles me that people trust Zuckerberg over Elon. Oh yeah, mainstream media said to hate Elon.

yeah besides some baffling things that Elon has been saying sometimes since he bought twitter, I'd trust elon way more. I personally just think twitter is all hate fueled on either side at this point and that's not going to change most likely
