Rate Limit Exceeded

I never got the rate limit thing, but yesterday (saturday) I kept getting "cannot retrive tweets at this time" and I could not see any comments on any tweet. Not even from my mentions! I could not see the thread!

Today it hasnt been glitchy for me, apart from not getting many tweets... But Im not sure if that is a glitch or just a result of people leaving twitter after yesterdays debacle.

And I 100% agree that that user definitely pays for Blue!

And why is it always the richest people who are the worst bill payers? My self-employed partner has complained about them for decades.

(Of course that’s probably why they’re rich - they keep all the money for themselves until forced to hand it over.)

My account was banned last November, but even back then it was a much less enjoyable experience than before Musk bought it. I had around 4000 mutual followers but the only tweets I was being shown were from accounts I didn’t follow and didn’t want to. I tried blocking everyone I wasn’t interested in but millions more filled their place, and I’d have to seek out the people I followed via the search function.

So although I was gutted to lose my Twitter account, I was also “well fuck you Musky” and I have managed to resist the desire to rejoin. It gets easier over the months, but it’s so addictive, particularly when something big is happening. I was so much better informed about political goings-on than my Dad, who reads two UK newspapers a day (and German and US papers online). For political junkies Twitter was the very best site.

I wasn’t shouting at bots, I blocked all the bots I came across.

I hope there is a mass exodus for purely vengeful reasons, but it’s very sad what he’s done to Twitter, he spent $44billion on something he doesn’t seem to understand.

Twitter is horrendous since he took over. Just moron after moron that I don't follow on my timeline. Imagine your Facebook has been hacked by strangers that you have nothing in common with and often actively dislike. I'm sure these people are paying for visibility. Why is Piers fucking Morgan on my timeline- I'm sure I blocked him.

I'm glad people now realise Musk is not a 'genius'. Just because you are a billionaire it doesn't mean you're competent ...Rishi Sunak, anyone?

If he's as good at engineering as he's been at running twitter you could not get me in one of his spaceships. That's for sure.

I heard it's just on iPhone. I'm on Android and haven't had this message.

He’s totally messed up Twitter.

Its more sinister than that though, as he’s made a lot of changes and has it controlled in a way that really helps Russian propaganda, and limits those who try to fight it.

😆 Probz paid for a blue tick, and only got 11 followers. One is his nan, one is his mum, and the other 9 are additional accounts he has made up. 😂

@SwedishEdith Of course they have ✔️🤣

And just to say... the five best friends I have in my life are all people I met on twitter. Three of us live close enough that we can meet up in real life quite regularly. But one lives hundreds of miles away, so not so easy. The other is a housebound grandmother in her 70s who lives hundreds of miles away in the other direction. But through twitter we can laugh & giggle,I can admire her knitting, the other ones gardening. We would never have come across each other in real life, but we have such a solid support network between us.

I owe my career to one of those friends. So no, it's not porn & bots & arguing. It's about finding people you connect with.

They've probably paid for a blue tick.

Same 🤣

I think a certain poster on here is exactly the type of poster I'd mute on twitter

Twitter is definitely becoming a confusing place to be. I have always found it really beneficial for my work, I had a blue tick and found that helped me be taken seriously by people I wanted to contact on there. However of course we lost the 'heritage' blue ticks and now I find myself judging people who have paid for the blue tick. Not for the money side of things, I get that a business has to earn money, but because it has negative connotations now. That said, for some reason I haven't had the exceeding limit message yet.

They logged me out and asked me to log back in. I did so using my password.
I got a message saying id logged in and from a different device.
Yes dum dum cos you told me to and its the same fucking device......my laptop

@808Kate1

You seem to hold your intelligence in high regard @Palmasailor - going by your posts on this thread, which is unwarranted IMO as you don't seem to have the ability or skill to engage in debate or make substantive points without throwing insults around. Why do men come on MN and do this???!

Talisin made a perfectly valid point as did other PP's, who you also labelled stupid. No-one likes a smart arse, especially those who aren't as smart as they seem to think they are.

100% agree with you 808Kate1. I am not even engaging with that poster anymore. I have not seen such a load of absolute crap written on here by someone for a LONG time. I'm embarrassed for them tbh! They haven't got a CLUE what they're on about. 😆

They are seriously embarrassing themselves. Oh dear......

They have started digging a DEEP hole - Time to put down that shovel! 😂

Yup. Yet @Palmasailor is hero worshipping him and insulting people who don't agree. So odd.

Well, if people's intelligence can be measured by their net worth, Musk is about to get a lot stupider when Twitter goes tits up.

@Palmasailor Christ, what are you even on about?!

You can’t just say he’s an “idiot”, “fool” or “trashing Twitter” without being challenged.

Firstly, I didn't call him an idiot or fool. Secondly, you can't just wade into a women's forum to call people idiots or stupid without being challenged.

I would also imagine he would be a tedious dick to have for dinner.

Yes. As would another willy waver on here.

I don't hold Musk in high regard at all, but I think calling him "stupid" is, well, stupid, as it is completely meaningless and undefined. What is "stupid"? He has very high skills in some areas, very few at all in others, and had made good decisions, and probably also bad ones. I would imagine his IQ on conventional testing would be high. I would also imagine he would be a tedious dick to have for dinner.

No, I hold the type of people who manage to fly satellites around the planet, own their own internet and massive car companies in high regard.

Most people, including you. Can’t do that.

You can’t just say he’s an “idiot”, “fool” or “trashing Twitter” without being challenged.

Its highly unlikely that he’s doing any of the above.

Plenty of people, male or female agree with my views, you’re just not used to getting called out in an echo chamber.
