A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

LOL this is ridiculous. Great work Elon!
This is utterly insane. Twitter has basically become pay-to-use. I give it less than a day for him to walk this back.
I haven't been using Twitter at all (except to promote my own content) but now I just frankly will not use it. It's become a hostile app that sounds unusable.
I've also stopped using Reddit and have considered a single user Lemmy instance to host a community (or communities depending) for my content.
300 posts is what, maybe 10 minutes of scrolling if you don't actually engage with much of the content..? Brilliant idea.
Elon will be happy to know that my Twitter consumption has fallen to zero a day.
Great! Come to fediverse, no limits here ✌️
Well, Twitter is a mobile game now... Is there something to consider it a gacha?
Why would you punish your users for using your fucking site? It’s kinda sad how Elon is ruining Twitter.
Is there a link to the tweet or did I miss it? I think you should link the tweet because screenshots are so easy to fake and (in other situations) to give credit

So, let's see. My 1920x1080 monitor and my full window browser can render 3 or 4 posts without scrolling, just logging in on Twitter. Because it's a new account, that means I have 296 posts left to read.
I click on one of those 4 initial posts, and without scrolling, I read 3 or 4 replies. I have 292 posts left to read. And even those replies don't bring me anything meaningful, they're just trolls doing troll things. 4 posts wasted.
And so on and so on. Wonderful, Mr. Free Speech Absolutist.
I love that avatar.
