How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.
You might be seeing fees I’m not, but some cell service are actually mandatory in the US. Usually a few dollars a month, they go to various state and federal agencies.
Essentially automated greed. They make more money by automating their employees and they charge you even more because of how convenient it was for them to do so.
Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.
Sounds like it's not about hosting their infrastructure but tangential services.
Of course Elon Musk thinks he can anti-spam and protect accounts better by himself and without external cost.
I'd love to see cloud hosters refusing to work with Elon Musk because of all the unpaid bills stuff.

Im not familiar with the lemmy source code but i would imagine it would batch fetch comments all at once with one api call (or maybe a few if the thread is big enough). Fewer api calls is less load on a lemmy server, less chance that any one of the calls them fails, etc. At least, if i wrote lemmy id i would do something like that.
It stops scrapers mostly, but also public frontends like nitter from serving Twitter data to more than a person or two. It’s a pretty transparent “hit the low hanging fruit” attempt to get people logged in and viewing ads that they can track to more-expensive-per-click users (ones that can be targeted more specifically than browser fingerprinting + geodata
I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.
Trying Connect on Android and it seems to be the best so far. I thought Summit was lacking and Jerboa looks worse imo. This one is just lacking some small qol features that would go a long way like how images and comment threads are handled.
I’m using connect as well, seems like the best of the current options. The way the comments are indented and colored reminds me of one of the Reddit Android apps, maybe relay
Liftoff on Android has been better than jerboa for me, minor bugs which I’m sure will get fixed. My favorite reddit app was sync tho, so excited to see that when it releases.
Yeah, I like lift off. Still doesn’t have font size for the comments yet. Waiting for that feature and also the notifications to work. Wefwef, thunder and connect for Lemmy are pretty good, too
I already learned my lesson when I signed up to the big Mastodon instance hosted on the other side of the world—found the second largest US-based server I could find, signed up there, rock solid so far.
