Just a reminder, Mastodon had rate limits long before ... lets not get too cocky on this one.

@freemo

This must have been before my time. I've never seen it myself.

@lucifargundam @freemo Yeah same. I have been on-off, semi-active since 2019. Haven't noticed them.

@shibaprasad

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

@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

@shibaprasad @freemo @mapto

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.

@olives

You would only run into it running multiple clients on multiple devices (much like the twitter rate limit in theory).

@lucifargundam

@freemo @lucifargundam Once, Elon broke the rate limits just by releasing a long tweet feature. No one could post. No one lol
