    You got to be out of your mind to reach those limits on any social media platform.

      Back when I used Twitter, that was totally possible. Even without being totally insane. In some areas Twitter did work like a giant unorganized chat room. You were able to discuss the current soccer games. Or current events. Breaking news. The local elections. I totally did write more than 50 tweets back in 2016 in the election night when Trump was elected or during the soccer world cups

        That is exactly the kind of insanity I’m refering to.

            You don’t understand! Someone doing that on some other social media platform is bad and insane! Him doing that on this social media platform is good and based! Jesus Christ, it’s a simple concept!

              You know how averages work, right?

              Honestly, someone who posts everyday averaging 12 comments is probably crazier than the occasional poster who very occasionally hits 50 200 in a day.

              Edit: I misread the limits as being 50 comments, which I stand by as not too crazy now and again. 200 comments/replies even on the most newsworthy days is certainly getting to the ‘difficult to do’ level. I’ll grant you that I’d be hard pressed to get to 200 even if I tried. I consider myself on your side on this one. I’ll only say that citing any average usage per day is unimportant, because there are no limits on the average daily usage, only absolute upper limits.

                You’re free to think that way. It, however, is in no way in conflict with what I originally said, and thus isn’t the self-own you think it is.

                I said very clearly that I view 50 posts and/or 200 comments a day as insanity. To act as if 1200 comments in 100 days - which averages to 12 comments a day - is somehow equivalent is pretty disingenuous.

      TBF some local media is still on there, the only guy who covers city council meetings for Oakland (nearly 1/2 a million people), and he does it by live tweating the whole meeting, easily over 50 a day.

      Yeah, nah. Live tooting an event it would be easy to exceed those numbers. Used to do it all the time, back in the day.

      You clearly haven’t seen cult leader Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Twitter history.

      You got to be out of your mind to be on Xitter at all.
