If they are hitting rate limits with no automation then its probablg time they go outside and away from twitter ;)
Seems you have outdated figured, they have doubled this since it was first brought online and continue to tweak.
I can't imagine most people are responding to more than 600 tweets a day, or looking at them. But I'm sure part of it is to encourage buying a verified account which gets 10K the tweet views. That seems like the most valid complaint I can think of about the whole mess.
You would only run into it running multiple clients on multiple devices (much like the twitter rate limit in theory).
Most people wont, not even on twitter.. But if you run multiple instances of a fediverse client and keep the website up you will likely run into it (I have).
@lucifargundam Its still here. Most people have probably never seen it because most people dont bother to exceed the limit. But it is there. I've ran into it myself when i used a fediverse client on multiple devices at once.
Just a reminder, Mastodon had rate limits long before #twitter... lets not get too cocky on this one.
You cant gt the loan if your under 18, collecge loans are either signed for by your parents or you are over 18 when you get them (as most people are when they go to college)
Im not sure how you can claim a loan for education is predatory...
@LouisIngenthron If you give advantages based on poverty, not race, you solve both issues...
On the one hand so long as racism exists and minorities disadvantaged they will be a larger portion of the group in poverty and thus would get helped.
Since its based on poverty then it isnt explicitly racial in nature so address the racism concerns.
No because "the government" isnt the only option paying for it... It could be the company issuing the loan that is shit out of luck and pays for it too. They also might get that money by taxing specific groups or a product (like how we tax gas.

@freemo Just FYI, this isn't really a Buddha quote. It was written by an American Secular Buddhist, Jack Kornfield: https://fakebuddhaquotes.com/in-the-end-only-three-things-matter/

@freemo
> violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.
Yeah, this looks like "I feel like i won if i took a hit and solved it without hitting back"
That's the stuff.

@freemo Ah, the engagement i hoped for, and i hope you value the reply with my own thoughts:
To love, i improved. I did badly, maybe was clumsy and incompetent, but i improved. Especially in the sense of loving without a personal connection, to love for "i think this is something special", not because there was someone close to me.
To live gently, i improved. I was rather angry (rightfully so, but it was not helpful) as a youth, but i think i am getting the knack of not pulling someone who is not directly responsible into my outrage.
Things not meant for me? I really struggle with this one. What does it mean? Is living in a world where people work together instead of competing not meant for me? Who would decide what is meant for me?
Maybe this is more of a translation error, it would make more sense to me if it was "let go of things where consent is not given". That i would be able to say to "i improved". I do conscientiously check if something is where someone else has no obligation to me and back off if i get told no instead of trying to make everything right even if someone does not want that.
@admitsWrongIfProven I think in terms of letting go... I was probably better at that when I was younger...
Early on I was a bit shaky on the love one too. I certainly improved a lot there from my younger years. I probably can still improve.
I was always gentle though I think, just my nature.

@freemo And how would you rate yourself on those?
@admitsWrongIfProven Good question, I asked myself that when I posted it...
How much I loved... that one I have down, I feel fairly universal love for everyone, at least in some sense. There are some edge cases that would need to deep dive into philosophy on "what is love" I guess, but otherwise I feel good on this point.
How gently I lived... not perfect but still pretty close on this one, I try to always be patient, kind, hear people out, forgive, violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.
How gracefully I let of things not meant for me.... this one is where I struggle the most, I do fairly poorly on this, poorer than your average person for sure. I do feel I have a good sense of when i should let go, but it is hard as I like to see things through to the end.
If we are talking about racists in general who will (and have) lead to nazism I guess thats more nuanced... but I never got into this convo to defend racists, so if they are getting punched in the face I have bigger things to worry about than them :)
