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

    Back when I used Twitter, that was totally possible. Even without being totally insane. In some areas Twitter did work like a giant unorganized chat room. You were able to discuss the current soccer games. Or current events. Breaking news. The local elections. I totally did write more than 50 tweets back in 2016 in the election night when Trump was elected or during the soccer world cups

    That is exactly the kind of insanity I'm refering to.

    I mean ... you've written 1100 comments here on Lemmy in three months. So ... welcome to the asylum?

    You don't understand! Someone doing that on some other social media platform is bad and insane! Him doing that on this social media platform is good and based! Jesus Christ, it's a simple concept!

    That averages to 12 comments and half a post a day.

    You know how averages work, right?

    Honestly, someone who posts everyday averaging 12 comments is probably crazier than the occasional poster who very occasionally hits 50 200 in a day.

    Edit: I misread the limits as being 50 comments, which I stand by as not too crazy now and again. 200 comments/replies even on the most newsworthy days is certainly getting to the ‘difficult to do’ level. I’ll grant you that I’d be hard pressed to get to 200 even if I tried. I consider myself on your side on this one. I’ll only say that citing any average usage per day is unimportant, because there are no limits on the average daily usage, only absolute upper limits.

    You're free to think that way. It, however, is in no way in conflict with what I originally said, and thus isn't the self-own you think it is.

    I said very clearly that I view 50 posts and/or 200 comments a day as insanity. To act as if 1200 comments in 100 days - which averages to 12 comments a day - is somehow equivalent is pretty disingenuous.

    Who tf gives a frogs fat ass?

    Fuck X (Meta and TikTok), anyone who's still on any of these platform can fuck off anyway.

    Furries likely would give a frog a fat ass. And it would be more enjoyable then anything on twitter.

    Habibi, if you need to post more than 50 times a day on X you have a larger problem.

    It’s crazy but understandable that media outlets started calling Twitter “X”. It’s batshit bonkers that 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”

    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.

    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.

    Have to love the narrative spin, they are placing a post limit on free accounts; as far as I'm aware, 'verified' accounts are just paid accounts now, right?
