[03:50:27] bitcg [03:52:51] I'd advise avoiding the use of profanity when it's not clear what it's targeting; even though it's likely to be targeted towards the Twitter update Castle mentioned above, it could easily be construed as an insult towards Castle [03:55:16] no way man [03:56:03] but okay, I specified lol [04:42:01] That's nonsense [04:42:06] It says @ Elon [04:42:28] There is no way any reasonable person could misinterpret that [04:42:32] Previously, it just said "bitch", which was the reason I posted the warning [04:42:48] Even then it's a push [04:43:13] I think the most reasonable people would assume Elon [05:08:36] I do think people have a perfectly good reason to be upset with musk about this change because it’s essentially blocking off a lot of the people who only want to read tweets and not have to log in to see them. [05:09:25] Yet nothing can truly change the fact he’s the one who makes the decisions for the platform and which features it incorporates. [06:59:05] also can't archive tweets, sometimes used as references (although to me it seemed like IA stopped working w/ tweets way before Musk) [06:59:25] I have a number of archived tweets on wiki as references [07:00:06] it looks like Instagram and Twitter are trying to outrun each other lol [07:00:37] last Insta updated fucked up hashtags, it's only "top" and "recent top" now [07:00:59] outrun as being a shittier platform [15:10:47] aaand twitter fucking died [15:10:53] great [15:11:57] and nothing of value was lost [15:12:49] my fave artists who stayed only on twi 😢 [15:15:53] rip, should have spammed them to create an account on Mastodon [15:17:56] mastodon is rather strange for art posting [15:18:11] we all tried it back in 2019 w/ tumblr exodus [15:18:54] luckily tumblr is slowly getting back to the top now [15:19:57] why does my private account work [15:20:21] i could even send a tweet [15:20:32] I just checked in my android app and seems to be ok [15:32:05] i tried making another account and this happened [15:33:31] reloaded and it seems fine now [18:03:48] welp [18:03:53] goodbye twitter! [18:04:08] Twitter is now heavily ratelimited [18:04:22] It is an intentional change [18:04:50] what the fuck lmao [18:05:05] dude doesn't know about ribit.txt [18:05:24] Twitter temporarily restricts tweets users can see, Elon Musk announces https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66077195 [18:05:33] Robots.txt is virtually useless [18:05:41] Most scrapes do not follow it [18:06:00] yeah, tried to make a funy [18:06:00] * RhinosF1 coughs the names of the many we've blocked [18:06:22] I'm sure you could say funnier [18:06:35] but data scrapping is still dumb excuse [18:06:42] Yes [19:16:46] how does elon manage to ruin twitter like every day 😭 [19:17:09] exactly man, it's fucking insane [19:18:15] he drops the ball more consistently that times square [19:28:42] Bro is discovering that the servers he turned off were for load balancing. And probably automated rate-limiting and abuse filtering features. [19:30:42] At this rate, there probably won't be a Twitter after a few days [19:31:36] Yeah, really sounds like the infrastructure is dissolving. [20:07:05] how's bluesky tho, anyone tried? [20:07:15] also seeing some mentions of cohost [20:17:34] I seem to remember that cohost had some sketchiness/security concerns [20:18:28] Oh no, that was Hive I was thinking of [20:19:04] hive I heard about a lot lol [20:19:47] meanwhile, I've just made cohost and nobody had my username lmao [20:20:20] finally [20:22:55] <.labster> Bluesky is under heavy load today because of reasons [20:24:10] <.labster> Twitter is DDoSing itself because its frontend doesn’t know about the rate limit and keeps hitting the API 10/s to try to get data [20:24:11] 🎻 [20:24:46] (that emoji doesn't really work for the whole "world's smallest violin" thing but you get it..) [20:25:00] I thought of sad violin lol [20:29:04] https://social.tchncs.de/@thomholwerda/110640180253311300 👏 [20:29:50] The Irony xD [20:31:41] <.labster> We need another service backup for announcements. Twitter isnt reliable (more likely to be down than us) and is no longer public. [20:32:00] y'all on fedi aren't you? [20:32:06] I can think only of tumblr or tiktok at this point [20:32:08] lol [20:32:19] or fb, but fb sucks [20:33:05] wait, there was MIraheze redit? [20:33:08] <.labster> I was on The Facebook when it was still called The Facebook. Deleted my account there a year ago [20:33:22] whatever is happening w/ reddit [20:33:50] <.labster> Reddit is giving their unpaid labor the middle finger IIRC [20:33:58] I have to hang there to lurk in fan groups w/ elders fans sharing rarities, this places makes me loose my braincells [20:35:19] <.labster> Social media is dead [20:35:32] yay [20:35:41] back to personal sites and blogs we go [20:36:38] You just made me laugh [20:36:49] It really does feel like social media is at least dieing [20:38:27] it does make me a little bit sad bc Twitter and Reddit are important sources for my wiki (though it does go to show the issue with monopolization when a single website can be so powerful) [20:38:28] [1/2] actually wait, telegram perhaps? [20:38:28] [2/2] (I personally avoid tg for reasons but it seems to be popular and not deadpan private) [20:47:20] Well, whatever we do wind up using, it would be great if there was a way to delegate access to the account in a manner that's not just sharing the password. [21:15:25] Have you heard of TweetDeck? [21:15:35] https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ [21:16:09] we do use tweetdeck [21:17:38] 16:31 <+MirahezeRelay> <.labster> We need another service backup for announcements. Twitter isnt reliable (more likely to be down than us) and is no longer public. [21:17:38] - We do have a mastodon account [21:18:14] not to mention the hund status page [21:18:29] UI is similar to twitter (although that doesn't mean much). It's just got a better user experence from what i heard. [21:19:40] https://elk.zone/home [21:19:48] gives you a twitter ui for mastodon [21:20:04] how many people using miraheze even heard about mastodon [21:20:36] I understand that mastodon is cozy and all [21:20:40] but the reach [21:20:41] me [21:20:51] https://mastodon.social/@miraheze [21:21:05] Heh, I only know of Mastodon becasue of Miraheze, due to a discussion some time ago on here about it 😛 [21:21:44] a site that have a lot of trans developers and is the better twitter? count me in [21:22:05] Huh, didn't know "site" was plural [21:22:23] oh yeah forgot about the fediverse [21:23:09] tg is more likely to have a reach and like - better way at notifs [21:24:02] id support a telegram channel [21:25:48] i do think that we should also adopt mastodon in that case as well [21:27:15] it's already here, I'm just saying that it shouldn't be the only option [21:27:25] oh [21:27:30] yeah i agree with that [21:28:18] It is frustrating/difficult to have a whole bunch of different outlets to manage though. [21:28:40] yeah, I feel ya lol [21:29:05] artists who relied primarily on twitter for commisions are now in panic [21:30:02] make a script or something for messaging apis or something idk 😭 [21:30:25] actually yeah <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [21:32:24] The old bridge software supports telegram I believe [21:32:44] wm-bb does irc<->telegram<->discord [21:33:08] too [21:36:06] t.me/miraheze already seems to exist [21:43:12] [1/3] Panic and run, panic and run! [21:43:12] [2/3] But all silliness aside… [21:43:13] [3/3] I'm just gonna stick around Twitter 'til the very end. [21:48:17] i joined mastodon last night [21:48:22] but it's kinda awful [21:48:37] https://bsky.app/ [21:51:41] Bluesky is awful :<
