I've posted two replies in the past 3 days (which is towards the high end of my use) and I'm limited. I think this is a write/posting outage/incident. Firing everyone seems to be working out well for stability.

Yes it's clearly an outage and seems to effect not only posting but also notifications (not getting any) and DMs (I can't even load my DM page).

I tried to tweet today for the first time in weeks and it said I had hit the limit.

  Luckily, 0 is also my personal limit for tweets these days.

I haven't tweeted in months and just tried it: > You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets. What absolute shitshow is going on at Twitter?

  A full tweet would be many times your personal daily average. We can't have you suddenly start spamming. (/s)

  Starting today a lot of people are seeing "You cannot follow more people at this time" firing the folx who run the ship seems to be going swell

    I'm seeing that, too. Can't follow anyone today. There are limits documented on Twitter's website, but I'm nowhere near reaching them. https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-limit https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-follow-lim...

      It's hilarious how Twitter 10x'ed the amount of ads they push yet you can't follow the occasional promoted account even if you legit want to. Somebody should tell advertisers they are wasting all that money.

      I've deleted my account because of that. Twitter was overrated anyways. Time to try some new social media apps!

        Ah, folk (or folks) that would make sense. I thought that was always a non-gendered term but I'd better not question it.

        Folks is non-gendered, that’s why the “folx” terminology is seen as pandering / virtue signaling / etc. by many, many people. Re: Latinx.

      It's February though, and we've seen at least two outages in the past 3 months, and arguably a lot more generally buggy instances where specific features have been broken (very often without postmortems or any kind of acknowledgement). I don't think people are surprised to see a website go down; they're surprised to see a website go down often enough that it no longer seems like a particularly noteworthy event. I opened this thread to see what people were saying about the policy change and instead saw people complaining about a service outage, and my response was not, "huh, what on earth is going on at Twitter?" It was, "eh, seems about right." Twitter always struggled with outages, but they shouldn't be the expected result whenever new features/changes are launched.

I got an error that I can't follow any more people (I follow around 3000 people), never got this before. Twitter is becoming an absolute shit show of product and company.
