🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 (npub1ztd…nwdy) Rate limits are nothing new per se this is true, especially when it comes to load balancer technology, but I can't help but wonder if we are talking of vastly different orders of magnitude by way of scale?
A limit of reading 300 tweets in a day compared against say calling Mastodon's Api endpoints/methods 300 times in 5 minutes. This seems almost incomparable?
Typically rate limits tend to be set in place for the overall integrity of a service, but the recent announcements by Twitter seem insane and might point the finger at some recent changes made to their underlying infrastructure which simply can no longer cope (however "temporary" a measure). I heard that AI tech can be good at designing RISC chips in under 5 hours - who knows maybe AI could be used (maybe has been used) to fix/break certain issues.
