In addition to being a “pay to play” tactic at Twitter itself, there are Twitter scraping sites like nitter.net and many other sites that use the nitter method to permit access to Twitter without a login. Also, tweets used to be accessible from Twitter by RSS feed, but that was stopped about 6 months ago. The nitter sites were still working with RSS, but now they are not. It appears that anything that allows access to Twitter without seeing ads is being prevented.

I used to browse Twitter without an account, but that all stopped on Friday. Now when someone posts a twitter link, I'm sent to to a Twitter login screen and can go no further.
Elon said that eventually users with no accounts will be able to browse again at some future date. He claims they are currently trying to deal with no account bots that are mining the site for information, and he specifically mentioned ChatGPT.
One problem with permanently banning users with no accounts:
[quote] There are some big drawbacks to Twitter's decision to block access to the platform unless a user is signed into an account. A major issue Twitter will face is the fact that search engines, like Google, will have difficulty crawling the platform and ranking its content. This means when a user searches on Google, user profiles and tweets may not appear. This will probably end up losing a lot of traffic for Twitter.

So let me get this straight. Unless you're "verified," you're severely limited in the number of posts you can view on Twitter each day. Which means the verified subscribers, most of them insane, far right MAGA cultists, are virtually free to tweet their BS, and those who aren't in the cult can't see those tweets or respond to them to correct the bullshit.
This is essentially Musk's attempt to make Twitter the equivalent of Truth Social. Fuck that ugly prick.

[quote] What is data scraping?
R53 Nitter copies ("scrapes") all the non-private tweets on Twitter and makes them available at alternate web addresses in the Nitter interface, which is similar to Twitter's. There is no login requirement to access Nitter sites. Nitter sites scrape Twitter every few minutes, so I presume it puts a lot of load on Twitter.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used by certain websites to make their available information in a format that can be read/viewed on apps that read RSS feeds. Podcasts are distributed using RSS, so "Apple Podcasts" and whatever podcast app one uses are RSS "readers" for audio and video files. Twitter used to make RSS feeds available for each non-private poster, but they stopped that about 6 months ago. Nitter sites still produced RSS feeds from Twitter posts until a few days ago.

People are reporting that what's going on is that Elon fucked up, surprise surprise, and didn't pay for a bunch of servers that it needed. In effect, Twitter is doing a DDOS attack on itself, the server that it does have is trying to reach the servers it no longer pays for, and the more that the requests dont go through, the more it sends out. He supposedly barely has enough staff to try to fix the problem, therefore the solution was to termporarily limit the number of Tweets users could access, in hopes that it would slow the traffic on the servers.

June 10 (Reuters) - Twitter has refused to pay its Google Cloud bills (GOOGL.O) as its contract comes up for renewal this month, which could result in the social media company's trust and safety teams being crippled, Platformer reported on Saturday.
Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.
The Platformer report did not give details on how the conflict between the companies could hinder Twitter's trust and safety teams. The Information said Twitter has been trying to renegotiate its contract with Google since at least March.
Twitter hosts some services on its server and houses others on the cloud platforms of Amazon (AMZN.O) and Google, Platformer said.
In March, Amazon warned Twitter that it would withhold advertising payments because of the company's outstanding bills to Amazon Web Services for cloud computing services, according to the Information.
Since Musk's acquisition, Twitter has cut costs dramatically and laid off thousands of employees. Musk ordered the company to cut infrastructure costs, such as spending on cloud services, by $1 billion, a source had told Reuters in November.

I think I reached it after about an hour or so of just general browsing amongst other stuff.

It’s frustrating. There were two mass shootings at block parties last night .

This is going to kill twitter if allowed to go on because people need their fix and will just go elsewhere which reminds me of what is happening on DL now with the extended prime time.

If I click on a trending topic, I get a “tweets won’t load” message. First had this problem eight hour ago and it persists.
Meanwhile, Linda Yaccarino can continue her advertiser listening tour and the message will be a stronger “no” than a couple days ago, and they hated the platform then.

6000-8000 tweets for “news”? Right. If you wanted news, you’d read the fucking Associated Press, or Reuters.

It’s worth it to stay on Twitter just for the porn and the political commentary. But I wouldn’t give that POS Musk a dime. He took something that was working well and destroyed it. He’s an insane reich-winger

I learned that Jack Dorsey is only on the board of Bluesky so I am on the waiting list for an invitation code. The reviews, comments from users are very positive and it doesn't appear to be RW swamp.

r152, I don’t think it works that way. Register at Bluesky and they’ll send you an invitation code. That’s how I got one. Since I’ve used mine, I don’t know that it will work again.

R158- Ok, thanks anyway. I am on the waiting list but so many people are leaving Twitter I think BlueSky is overwhelmed at the moment. Let us know what you think of it!
| by Anonymous | reply 154 | July 3, 2023 3:36 PM |
I will, r154. I even looked on my profile to see if I can generate an invitation, but I can’t, so it’s obvious Bluesky is trying to assert some control over the participants.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just signed up for Bluesky and am now waiting for the invitation code.

If you exceeded your limit find something else to do. You’re allowed a lot of threads. If you exceed it you’re spending too much time on the app

R167, I believe it’s not threads it just posts. Can anyone confirm? It’s easy to blow through 600 posts on any board.

@r156, Do you think it will be any better than Twitter? I mean Jack Dorsey is running it and well his track record with Twitter isn't all that great. Not to mention he's kind of turning into a Fascist himself

R161- He is only a board member, I have read. People are of course questioning his power and involvement after what happened to Twitter and it is said that he holds no power over how this platform is run. Idk. 🤷♀️

Meta's Threads app will launch on Thursday. You can pre-order it now on the app store.

I agree about not wanting to join Bluesky but I think people want something the same or similar to what Twitter was. None of the alternatives have been good so far.

So far, Bluesky looks a lot like Twitter tbh. I’m sure there are differences but it feels like I’m looking right at Twitter. The big thing is of course the users. Everyone is on Twitter, whereas Bluesky is much, much smaller.

Which one has the most users so far?
| by Anonymous | reply 168 | July 4, 2023 2:36 PM |
BlueSky has the smallest number of users and is invite-only. Instagram has 2.35 billion monthly active users, which means Meta can win this if they can entice even a fraction of them to start using Threads regularly. This is a historic opportunity for Meta and I'm pretty sure they won't fuck it up.

r170 We'll see, we have to wait at least a year for these three to slug it out now. We might end up in a situation where most people do migrate over but go to Twitter for porn only, and that becomes a workable arrangement for the majority.

You'd think but they've pretty much failed with regard to that creepy virtual reality thing they've been trying to push (Oculus?)

r172 I find Dorsey slightly worse than Zuckerberg. Remember his "splinter the CIA, NSA, and FBI into a thousand pieces and scatter them into the winds" tweet from May? He's also endorsed RFK Jr. for president. He's horrifically right-wing, he just hides it better than Musk.

r174 VR is a wholly new ecosystem though, while it shouldn't be THAT hard to convince Insta users to maybe share some of their thoughts on Threads as well. Plus, they have the whole advertising machine oiled up and ready to go.

Instragram doesn't allow porn, so no - their guidelines say: “We don’t allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse and genitals.”
