I really appreciated that it made it clear when I should try again. The content sounded interesting so waiting a minute wasn’t a big deal.
- adql 4y agoI don't understand how it is "rate limiting" when I was first viewer from IP, and most likely from entire IP class (it's 6AM here in office and there is nobody here, and I'm the admin of the infrastructure so I'm pretty sure literally nobody else accessed it) Also displaying "rate limited" in some retarded popup that instantly disappears while page reads "404 not found" is some top tier level of UX idiocy, I didn't even notice because I usually open both HN post and page so it just... displayed in the background when I wasn't looking and only refresh of the page showed it... So I waited a minute, refreshed, then the site told me to wait 5 more minutes... Tried on mobile (via 4g to get different IP) and it is just "not found", not even a popup I'm imagining this idiotic attempt at throttling is direct effect of Mastodon being just so fucking slow and someone trying to patch it via more bad design
