It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

Someone owes some Russian & Middle Eastern Oligarchs a lot of money for his Twitter buying fiasco. Same as Trump did for his fiascos. The business model is just them doing what they were told to do. In this case take down social media.

You have an agenda or something?

Our oligarchs are the most powerful in the world, they are perfectly capable of being assholes without "being controllesd by Russia".

Stop being such a redditor

Is this the first use of being such a Redditor as an insult on Lemmy?

Are you actually so new to the internet you've never seen the same thing posted multiple times when there are server issues? You can find a dozen examples of this on practically every post right now.

And yes, Musk's main backes in his Twitter purchase are Saudi and Russian. You would be absolutely blind to think that has nothing to do with his actions. Twitter's content has bent further and further right, towards the general russo-slurping conservative side of things, ever since he took over.

Why do you think they got rid of the "state backed media" tag on RT and others?
