Starting back up where you left off still happens if you set it to see latest tweets instead of top tweets, they are just ordered fully chronologically instead of considering popularity/engagement. I haven't seen repeat tweets that way though.
RIP Twitter If that’s what this “Rate limit exceeded” is and nothing ****ing works, goodbye twitter. Rest in piss. Can’t view tweets, can’t view lists, can’t search, can’t do ****. @ThatBoyNick pointed it out yesterday, now you also need an account to view tweets.
Missed this article the first time around…it was buried in @tinman’s nonstop Elon marathon during 2022. This writer completely nailed it. Amazing.
Seriously wondering if Elon wants to bankrupt Twitter to take a tax writeoff. I can't imagine anybody thinking this will fix more problems than it creates.
If I never have to read another embedded unhinged bot filled racist tweet storm from you or @tinman @Commodore here it'll be too ****ing soon.
I found a way around it. More like a way to maximize your 600 reads. Put it on the "Following" and not "For you" option. Secondly, use the app on your desktop or laptop where it won't scroll 5 tweets at once with a finger slide. Your 600 rations should last the average sportsfan most of the day.If you follow politics and video games it will be much much less. May the lord have mercy on all of our souls.
Speculation on Mastodon is that there is some issue that cannot be fixed because the Twitter engineering core was destroyed by Elon’s antics.
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. #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS A mostly still movie of a Twitter feed showing a rate limited error message and a jiggling scrollbar indicating repeated attempts to load a resource.

@AroundTheWorld @Space Ghost he wants to rid twitter of freeloaders we should do that on Clutchfans Like @Andre0087 and his non paying Jeremy Lin army like @txtony Pay up cheapskates Take the tips you get from getting me my latte in the morning @Os Trigonum
This is actually hilarious as hell Ad sales/ad traffic/ctr/views dien bring in new ad- based CEO to raise ad traffic Immediately put all content behind regwall and limit views due to elon being retroactively mad about llm scrape Just clown show ****. @AroundTheWorld @Space Ghost @Commodore@tinman
Couple of thoughts here: 1. The hope was to reduce additional accounts. People are going to create additional accounts to get around the limit. 2. People viewing tweets is how you turn this platform into money. Why in the world would you want to limit that? That’s all you have to sell!!! You don’t create any content…you just have to not **** up the platform to show it. 3. At its best, Twitter was super helpful as a platform during real time events. Was helpful to me during Hurricane Harvey and during the winter storm a couple of years back. Great for following breaking news. That comes to an end. I hope Meta or someone else comes up with an alternative platform that leans into the things that Musk is abandoning that were useful with Twitter.
The underlying problem is that Elon bought Twitter for personal reasons. He has no understanding of his user base and why they use the platform or what value it provides. So to him, this is a way to force people into signing up for Twitter Blue. But no one's going to do it because the vast majority don't need it on a regular basis - it's just going to suck in those crisis situations. All this does is give Facebook a bigger opening whenever their new platform launches. People may not adopt it initially, but it gives them a huge opportunity to convert users over during crisis times by providing real value that Twitter won't offer. Or, more probably, when this all backfires, Twitter will reverse course and be back where they started, except with more people tired of them.
