July 3 (Reuters) - Elon Musk’s Twitter has put a temporary limit on the number of tweets that users can see each day, a move that has sparked some backlash and could undermine the social network’s efforts to attract advertisers.
The limit, imposed to “address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation”, is the latest change by Twitter, which was last year acquired by Musk for $44 billion.
What does the latest change mean and what are the alternatives to Twitter? How do the changes impact users?
Users cannot view tweets without logging in to the platform. Verified accounts can now read 6,000 posts per day, unverified accounts 600 posts and new un-verified accounts 300 posts. After that, users will get a message that says, “rate limit exceeded”.

There are some good Telegram accounts for this if you want an alternative to Twitter, perhaps there are fedi options too but I’m unfortunately unaware if so
Yep, I’m sure there are. I just had a consistent view from the 3 people I looked at on Twitter. The Telegram channels are often fraught with propaganda from either side and I’d like to avoid it as much as possible. We’ll see if this stuff blows over in the near term
Lemmy has quite a few as does mastodon i believe
Can you share the lemmy communities?
On my phone so I can’t list them but I found every single one by searching “ukraine” in the lemmy and mastodon searches
Would you mind sharing some? 😃
