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.

What is this guy’s problem?
💀
When all this crap started, my guess was that he is some sort of captured asset that's using his position to sabotage the platform to hinder free speech. Initially, he was so strongly targeting any anti-trump/anti-republican assets that it seemed blatantly obvious, but my money is on Russia or China. China being the more obvious option, given they supply a lot of Tesla's materials.
That's all conjecture of course, he could just be an insane despot cutting his nose off to spite his face like Steve Huffman.
I luled. Fuck that dweeb.
Seems to be utilizing the Trump business model, where the check is perpetually in the mail.
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.
Lol, what?
He is one of the richest oligarchs in the world, its people like him that the whole system caters to.
Nobody is controlling him, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and he just happens to want a lot of dumb shit.
It's not like he just wrote a check. He took out loans and got other investors to sign on to fund the Twitter purchase. Even someone as wealthy as him has to answer to others.
He needs a complex system of propping up crap to maintain a certain measure of wealth. Sure, he could totally cash out and live extremely comfortably for the rest of his life, but it seems like ego is driving him to chase that ephemeral number and status.

"Russia controlls our oligarchs"
Is something that I would have preferred if it stayed on reddit

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?

If you don't like those sources just search for others. This is public information, not subject to argument.

Doesn't sound like a problem to me.
