No it is not. Few people when they hear "Microsoft blocks unauthorized peripherals" think: "Ah, so you mean Xbox is not allowed to have unauthorized peripherals". They will think. "Wait, Microsoft doesn't allow me to put a random keyboard / monitor/whatever I got into my PC?!"

lol... "microsoft" please say Xbox, otherwise people will think of Microsoft Windows.

I seriously don't understand why everyone is so up and arms about this. Block will disappear, except DMs. Mute will do the same thing block does, but you can still follow people that muted you. Also, to those that keep saying that X is dying, the user metrics are higher than ever atm.

My prediction, they will see it is not worth their money and continue do their main business on X.

it was heading for bankruptcy. It was not doing great.

It causes huge server strain, and such Twitter had to do something about it to stem the tide until they find a final solution. Stop thinking everything is Elon saying left and right what should happen.

It has been confirmed that is not the issue. It's simply because of the bot scraping. Also this: https://twitter.com/misteryrobozo/status/1675217396670291971?s=20

and now he wants this to stop. Either pay the $ for the APIs, or don't scrape.

This is a limited throttling to escape the bots that scrape, and increase server capacity. It seems it was at the level of a DDOS attack, and that is the reason they had to do that. I'm on the 'free' plan, never reached the limit of messages.

@twittersafety usually posts about stats and stuff : Also this: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2023/an-update-on-twitter-transparency-reporting

I don't know what they are talking about. The stats show that the hateful speech content has been lower, and that CP/bot spam is at an all time low compared to what it was before. Is there room for improvement? Yes. Is it better than it was before? Also yes.

yes

yes, he did. in the ted interview I posted in the thread.

There still is going to be moderation. He doesn't want a /b/ or something, it's just that some users get perma banned without a good reason, others don't (look at any of elon's posts and you'll see an army of bots). If someone starts spewing bullshit he would most likely be demoted in the search algorithm, but he mentioned he would like to show that somewhere on the tweet. Obviously also make the whole algorithm public.

After watching this video I am a lot more positive about this change. He's not saying that you could say anything. Hate/bans etc would still happen.
