Just a reminder, Mastodon had rate limits long before #twitter... lets not get too cocky on this one.
This must have been before my time. I've never seen it myself.
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).
@freemo @shibaprasad @lucifargundam that's the thing. A lot of people (I've seen a couple of complaints from my contacts) keep noticing the rate limits on twitter without any use of automation
@mapto @shibaprasad @lucifargundam
If they are hitting rate limits with no automation then its probablg time they go outside and away from twitter ;)
@freemo @mapto @lucifargundam Haha. Told the same thing to my friend who saw his limit being exceeded. P
I have a friend on IRC who says his friends are posting on birdsite about how mastodon isn't working because of heavy load
@lucifargundam @freemo @mapto Some instances might be facing that problem.
But I have hardly seen QOTO facing that. Magic of Dr. @freemo and other Admins.
@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.
@freemo @lucifargundam I've seen a lag at times in synchronising messages but haven't run into a rate limit.
You would only run into it running multiple clients on multiple devices (much like the twitter rate limit in theory).
@freemo @lucifargundam Once, Elon broke the rate limits just by releasing a long tweet feature. No one could post. No one lol
@freemo @olives @lucifargundam I've seen it and one does not need multiple devices...
The easy way to see it is leaving a lot of tabs open in the browser interface. I did that before i realized that all browser tabs poll all the time.
@lucifargundam @freemo Yeah same. I have been on-off, semi-active since 2019. Haven't noticed them.
