    Image Transcription: Twitter Post


    Elon Musk, @elonmusk

    To address extreme levels of data scrapting & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

     

    - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day

    - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day

    - New unverified accounts to 300/day


    This is a transcription template from r/TranscribersOfReddit, which is currently making their templates accessible outside of Reddit. I will update this post with a link to our templates once we have it all sorted. For now, you can access them through Reddit here! https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/wiki/guidelines/

        When the cringy rich dingus tells you to code something that is impossible to do with the current infrastructure and the timeframe but instead of explaining because you know he’ll have a temper tantrum, you just do the best you can knowing it won’t work but are already looking for other jobs so you don’t actually care that much.

    I wonder if Reddit is going to do this next…

    I can see them making people log in to see the posts.

    I can see Reddit limiting upvotes per day. Only 300 but “unlimited” with Reddit premium, etc

    Reddit just loves going full Twitter

    Okay, I might not have gotten the lingo yet: I see so many posts about “Rule” and I don’t get it. Can someone ELI5?

      The old subreddit had one rule: you had to make a post before leaving. People started just saying “rule” in the title as a joke about begrudgingly complying with the rule.

      So, once you’re done your 600 posts, you’ll go somewhere else where you can scroll endlessly, then slowly find yourself more and more going to that somewhere else instead of twitter. Elon twitler Musk is an idiot.

      It’s because it’s an r/196 reboot.

      r/196 used to be a subreddit with only one rule: that if you visited the subreddit, you had to post something before you left. Didn’t matter what it was, but it’s why their reiterations in the fediverse seem to much more active than anywhere else.

      Whether adding “rule” to the title was a part of it, idk, but I think that part’s just a meme habit
