@lucifargundam @freemo Yeah same. I have been on-off, semi-active since 2019. Haven't noticed them.
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
Then again maybe there's a different page in X Corp-land. I'm not sure about encouraging the buying of a verified account. I can see that up to a point, but then again they seem to have taken action urgently and without warning which may point at infrastructure issues. Then again with so much transparency I'm sure the world would know about that.
@freemo
What is this about rate limits? Like posting rate limits?
@herag All API queries int he case of mastodon.
@freemo
Oh! I do remember that! Shit... But it wasn't really a problem if I remember right. I dunno, I never ran an instance with more than me and like 3 other people.
@herag Its usually never a problem. You will only hit it if you have clients across multiple devices.
@freemo
This must have been before my time. I've never seen it myself.
