You got to be out of your mind to reach those limits on any social media platform.

Maybe this will push people to quit, finally. Or to subscribe. I don’t know, I used Twitter a tiny bit back the day, but I left and never looked back when Elon bought it. Just like when Reddit dropped their API support. Recognize when a platform is trying to enshittify and get out because you’re the product, not the customer being served.

Twitter was always about limiting yourself, originally to posts about as long as a text. That was kinda the point. They increased the post length a while ago, but as a long time fan of long form forum conversations, I never saw much point in Twitter. Then this crazy nutjob bought it and it appealed to me even less. Still, these limits seem reasonable as he paid so much for it and it hasn’t made him a profit. So yeah, I think anyone who wants to use it more than that should maybe pay… or find another service to post on.

It’s crazy but understandable that media outlets started calling Twitter “X”, it’s batshit insane they’re calling fleeced users “verified”, as if the word didn’t have prior meaning and it isn’t still widely used to this day (and long into the future)

During my first year of college, I had a writing class. The professor made us join this new micro-blog platform. I tweeted a few times, which were part of some of the assignments. I thought the idea of <140 characters to be interesting. Paying for that sounds hilarious. I’ll just leave this here, from The New Yorker, titled “L.P.D.: Libertarian Police Department”
