How To Get Around Twitter’s Rule That Limits Users to Just 600 Tweets

Elon Musk, Twitter’s CEO announced on Saturday a policy that may limit most users to only 600 tweets a day. But there does look like one workaround that hasn’t been restricted yet: Tweetdeck.

Twitter users were confused on Saturday after many individuals reported getting an error message that reads “rate limit exceeded.” Many assumed Twitter was down, but the location’s billionaire owner explained on Twitter that recent limitations had been put in place, allowing verified users to read just 6,000 posts per day, while regular users can be limited to reading 600 posts per day. Even recent accounts are restricted with only 300 each day posts.

Can users get across the recent restrictions? Visit Twitter first and log into your account. tweetdeck.twitter.com. You’ll be asked so as to add your account and the web site has the choice of providing a guided tour on how Tweetdeck works.

Tweetdeck allows users to create columns with specialized parameters, including a user’s lists and even a selected keyword search. Users can even create a column that’s only for direct messages or organize all the lists in a system called Decks.

The user can customize the columns, by changing their width or by viewing tweets chronologically or in reverse chronological order. Unfortunately, Tweetdeck isn’t available in a mobile app, but it could possibly be opened in a phone’s web browser. This solution isn’t ideal, obviously, however it’s the perfect workaround I’ve found up to now. This worked until Musk decided that Tweetdeck can be rated.

Musk said the brand new restrictions were put in place attributable to “extreme levels of knowledge scraping” and “system manipulation,” though loads of users speculated there have been other motives. Media critic Jay Rosen speculated that Twitter’s “verification” system, which allows anyone to purchase a blue checkmark at $8 per 30 days, was not selling thoroughly and Musk was attempting to push users to purchase it.

But other speculated Musk was intentionally attempting to sabotage the location, a claim for which there isn’t much evidence. That being said, for those who wanted to utterly decimate any social media platform the very first thing you’d do is limit how much content someone could view.

“This kills the ad revenue, but in addition kills the primary usecase (news/doomscrolling), so I’m all in favour of what the plan is now,” one user explained.

Twitter’s automated system responded on Saturday to questions sent via email with the emoji poop. This response is for all journalists. Musk, 52, created the automated response not long after purchasing the corporate in Oct 2022.

Whatever is happening, Twitter users aren’t very pleased with the changes. And it stays to be seen how long they’ll be in place.
