The goal is to make twitter unusable if you do not verify your identity.

6000 feels pretty low. 600…ouch. Might be a function of moving off cloud and back to in house.
Wonder how Reddit is dealing with this. If there’s an increase in scraping, I’m sure they are seeing something similar.
Fuck Blue check
It’s completely unusable - was my #1 app used for the last 7 years, now nothing. I’ll most likely deactivate if this isn’t reversed.
Please get the word out on Twitter.
✅ If you care about freedom, post everything on Nostr first.
Let the bitcoiners know so they don’t force us here to move to twitter to see their posts.
Twitter is a shitcoin. Went from public square to country club real quick
I needed to a good reason to move. Thanks Elon 🙌
Geez Louise
I use both as well
Wtf! BTW: I was trying to zap you and you do not have configured an address 🤔
NO WONDER NOWHAN IS LIKING MY POSTS, THEY ARE AMAZING.. BUT I AM NEW AND UNVERIFIED... DAMMIT ELONG
Dark times.
Hardcore engineering my friends!

It's completely useless for me now
Even though it looks like a fake tweet it's here: 
X (formerly Twitter)
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on X
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limi...
Nostr is gonna have an influx of bots also right ? Like long run ?
Nostr is indifferent to being scrapped ?
This is gonna backfire so bad. Traffic dropping fast to twitter
good question
blz explain in wards ser
Generally yes? But have to see how it scales.
oh nvm me then thought you meant solely twitter
"we just copy wechat" - Elon Musk
Declining new users since the start of #Nostr. That is what the stats tell at least.
This is a perfect opportunity to get people to try nostr.
That's an obvs bullish, flag pattern in consolidation phase ser, going long here
Beautiful way to get rekt
Absolutely insane
Odell called that shit
I prefer not to share any of my financial info regardless of how it works for a couple of dollars, doesn’t seem worth it to me.
As much as I want #Nostr succeed (and really it deserves this 💯) I think one difference compared to #Bitcoin is that when #bitcoin was launched in 2009 it was really the first and network effect was there. With #Nostr #Twitter has the network effect. I see this also in users like #Adam Back and #Saylor barely posting here. Not because #Twitter is better, no because it has the #networkeffect. Just my 21sats on this.
nostr is literally not even 1y old
good things take time?
That is not what I try to explain. Twitter was there before #Nostr. That is a huge difference with #bitcoin in 2009
Sad!
yes i see what you mean - you need twitter to onboard new users bc majority of world is still on there rn
Will not eat bugs.
Will not verify identity.
Will not live in pod.
Will not participate in metaverse.
Yes. I have deleted my Twitter account long time ago. I have scarified alot users but I don't care
Step 1) create a verification badge that is activated upon deposit on X amount of sats
Step 2) create filter for users to only see posts from sat-verified users (optional of course, you could even let users decide threshold {only see posts from 250k sat verified accounts} or something
1. offer a good relay with superb spam control, perhaps custom filters.
2. wait for people to use it.
3. scrape it from your local database
I like that idea
Failed experiment incoming.
Break free from the chains of the blue check obsession, and let your uniqueness shine brighter than any symbol of validation ever could.

100% real
Think there has been a bit of a rethink👀
The less I can use Twitter the better
How is the is free speech if you have to pay? It's a centrilzed platform
Well, it does need revenue to run. Ad model or subscription or commerce or all three for ideal resiliency.
Ad model is fine. Commerce is fine. Subscription for priority is fine. But to limit access to free speech based on payment is not the way
Eff Elon I’m out lol
Just do your part and don’t worry about others. #nostr is simply better than the centralized alternatives, like #Bitcoin is simply better compared to #fiat.
I don't have to do anything.
.... not cool
Exactly.
Is it the scraping issue though? Macron said he wanted to limit access to social media as a measurement against the riots in France. Then Elon comes to the rescue with this… 🤔
Twitters finished

You made that clear months ago, we will not comply
😂😂😂
Been listening to you go on and on about Elon and the blue checks for weeks. Thought you were just being dramatic but here we are. This is just the push I needed to drop the other bird app for good!!
Wanted to get that #bluetick on my twitter profile. The yearly price ain't bad but,, it's a lot when a person don't have the money. Unlike twitter, #plebstr got me my verified tickmark in just a few easy steps. I am Not a robot😄⚡⚡⚡
Oh, forgot to mention, I got my #plebstr verified tick Free #nostr
This was the last straw for me… time to figure out Nostr #firstpost
It’s real I can see even my own Tweets
That hitted hard. I guess it is a global rate limit, but it implies you cannot even see your own data 🤦
Yup ridiculous.. In the end Twitter forces me to use Damus again…and I’ll probably be sticking with #Nostr for the foreseeable future
We will not comply.
No, don’t think so.
It’s just some pushing to pay for their services… just like many other social medias. But they need that 99% that’s not willing to pay, otherwise that 1% would stop paying right away.
He has said he wants to use Twitter's data to train a LLM AI. I think he's just trying to keep his data secure, but yes, he also wants to create a universal app with ID'd users.
I think it's primarily about the monthly fee.
Just got nostr because of that change, but it looks like it will also fuck AI tools that depend on scraping data. Chaos, new things
The Chinese experiment is failing. Fuck Elons “We Chat” agenda!
Twitter = MySpace
