> Twitter is the worst platform

Ftfy

Seriously twitter is one of few things I hate with a passion. Everything about it stinks. I don't even use twitter but I randomly get rate limited: "you can't see this content because your rate is too high" - first time I click on twitter link in two weeks.

It's just mind boggling how it became so big while being so absurdly terrible.

This happens every time for me and a bunch of others have reported it. I think it's meant to be a dark pattern to get you to use the app. To get around it you have to reload the page from the browser reload button.

Funny how this dark pattern pushed me to never use twitter again though I'd be willing to bet it works more often than it doesn't.

If you don’t like to read long-form content on Twitter, use Threader. (Disclaimer: I built it). It turns Twitter threads into a single page article. > https://threader.app/thread/1126996260026605568

I both agree and disagree. It's a terrible way to read anything long-form, but in the case of a suspenseful story like this it's pretty great.
