Mildly Infuriating

He's just a nutjob. Sorry, but that's what it is. A prime example for "the typical CEO".

I don't get why anyone would still hype this guy.

Imagine paying 40billion dollars on a company to just sink it, and being like "oh well still rich lol"

Ah well. Very happy with Mastodon now.

first Reddit, now Twitter? What's next? Facebook? Tiktok? I hope it's both.

The more i read this the funnier it gets. Holy fuck twitter you really found a way to go even lower.

Incompetent Narcissism is the term I've used for Musk and others who think they are brilliant, but in reality just aren't. But, they have an insatiable desire to be seen as brilliant and the easiest way to do that is to have crazy ideas that, because they are crazy, others don't have. Sometimes those ideas pan out and they are seen as brilliant ... and that really resonates for them. Most of the time those crazy ideas absolutely fail ... they externalize the cause in those cases. The real damage comes when these Incompetent Narcissists have the money and/or power/influence to make it happen. Musk and Trump are prime examples of this.

It’s on fucking purpose?? I can’t even open Twitter because somehow I exceed the rate limit when I launch the app

Great for the fediverse! I suspect that these changes to twitter and reddit are mainly a response to the growing hunger of generative artificial intelligence companies who are hoovering up data, basically for free. Change is never easy, but i'm optimistic that this is the break open source and federated communities needed to start taking off. I hope people can see the value in decentralizing and help support these open source projects financially so that they can really start to scale. The reality is, scaling is expensive, and we all need to help where we can. These Ai companies will not hesitate to suck up federated data also. If we want to live in an ad free world its gonna cost us.

The thing is he's not trying to do that because he actually thinks he's doing a good job.

How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.

Supposedly there is some bug that makes clients send out a ton of requests Some ppl say its because twitter requires to log in to show anything so the requests fail and retry https://sfba.social/@sysop408/110639474671754723

Musk tries to pull a "The producers" on Twitter, betting big that Twitter will go bankrupt and then it doesn't. In fact the (short term) gains look so good that reddit tries copying it. Musk is like: "I have to ruin this before the entire tech industry copies me!"

I love it. I want him to kill it. I despise the cesspool of hate that is twitter today. Cant wait for a twitter movie/docuseries "Where did we go wrong?". Same goes for Reddit

just don't look there. it's not worth your attention.

Yo for real, what's up with all these social media sites literally shooting themselves in the foot as we speak?.

Youtube planning to antagonize adblock users and limiting video watching, Reddit killing itself with ~~bureocracy~~ style and now Twitter doing this shit. Hopefully shit sites like TikTok or Facebook jump on the wagon too.
