Recently twitter broke the site by implementing rate limits, rendering it near unusable. Regressive leftists responded to this fuckup as expected by gloating about Elon Musk is about to ruin his investment.

I mean gloating or not are they wrong? How can you run a social media company by making it unable to be used it for any social use?
Literally reading one tweet from Musk sends you over the limit and locks you out for the day. He says it's a temporary measure but how many people and advertisers will leave in the meantime? Its fundamentally unusable right now.
Can you elaborate on that? I rarely use twitter but I just loaded up this tweet and was able to see all the replies, then go back to my home page and see tweets from who I follow - which includes a lot of annoying auto-play videos reminding me why I don't look at twitter. Reading tweets is not locking me out.
So no one knows right now what counts as a "view" under the new limits. People seem to be locked out when they look at one twitter thread that has replies over the limit. When I logged in today, I was only had able to view one thread (Which was Musk's) before it started "limiting" me.
I'm not alone in this, there's quite a bit of discussion today and similar among alot of people. Even refreshing a page for many people is enough to hit the limit and lock the site.
