every time i hear something about twitter updates it sounds like a joke. what do you mean you can only look at a certain number of posts per day.
i think the other thing about this that really kills me is that it directly opposes the goal of algorithmic content, which twitter is also pushing more heavily, and what platforms like instagram and tiktok provably demonstrate results in higher user attention.
like the whole point of running your platform on a tailored algorithm is that it keeps users on your app for long periods of time. social media platforms want to induce doomscrolling, and limiting the number of posts you can see in a day directly opposes that?
i get that he’s trying desperately to get people to pay for twitter blue but like, this is just going to hurt your numbers provably. this is literally going to stop people from using your app.
he did not in fact decide to limit the number of posts users can see! the site is ddos-ing itself bc of a code fuck up in a new update to block users from viewing tweets w/o logging in. this did not work the way it was intended to, as it kept trying to fetch content the user couldn’t see around 10 times per second, times all the users on twt. Hence. ddos.
He did limit it, but I didn’t realize that was why and that it was temporary, oops!! LOL ty <:)
still he is high speed driving this platform into a canyon its insane
Group of friends who are close because they all have the same superpower except no they don’t.
As in, they all think the other ones have the same superpower as them, but, in fact, they do not.
For example:
Time traveler who always is running into these other people who seem to know what’s going on or what will happen and is so happy he can finally share his travel stories.
Precognitive who is relieved he isn’t the only one with the gift and who is glad to get help averting future disasters.
Mind reader with a horrible memory who tries to stay on top of things by skimming surface thoughts. You want to talk about next week’s election results and how they changed the next decade? She’s with you.
Totally normal guy who thinks the others have the absolute best bit ever and loves playing along.
They save the world at least twice without a single clue shared between the four of them.
…..does this mean cat people hurl cats at the ground?
you just kind of… open ur arms and they sort themselves out. if you try and place them down they get mad and wiggle and make everything worse
some friends of mine have the most un-cat-ish cat i have ever met
my quintessential example of this:
i was holding him in my arms petting him while we were picking out what games to play that night. when we’d decided on a few, i needed to put the cat down in order to, you know, carry boxes. so i started letting him down, expecting that he’d eventually do the cat hop thing… but he never did.
i ended up lowering him all the way to the floor. and even then he never got his feet under him. i just sort of… plopped him down on his side as he stared up at me like a betrayed sack of flour.
I saw this so clearly in my mind and I’m never going to stop laughing at betrayed sack of flour.
