When I try access my instagram account, this is one version of what happens.
Sometimes it doesn't even get this far!
It's not suspended. It's not disabled. There haven't been any TOS violations. Nothing illegal, nothing illicit.
With #Threads stealing all the social media thunder over the last 24 hours, is Twitter's Chief Schmuck still rate limiting everyone on the platform to various degrees?
Good lord, the biggest threat to Twitter's existence isn't Meta.
It's Elon Musk himself.

#PrisonersDaughter: Brian Cox & Kate Beckinsale play an estranged father & daughter, with a 12-year old son of her own, in a mostly formulaic Las Vegas-based melodrama. A well-earned twist at the ending almost turns this film into a good one.

The next film in #ThePurge franchise series should be "The Purge: July Fifth," where all murder of anyone lighting off fireworks on July 5th is completely legal.

I'd love to tell you about My Instagram, but my account has been in limbo for a full year!
Locked out, apparently forever?
For no reason at all.
This screenshot is from the IG web client.
So, what happens when I try to "confirm my info on the app?"
See next 2 tweets!
Other times when I try to access my instagram account, this happens. (yes, there's a working PW there)
But because I'm not a verified blue-check famous person, no one at @InstagramComms can be bothered to help. Nor @mosseri

.@instagram's "Threads", Meta's Twitter-like competitor app, sounds like a pretty cool concept.
But since I still can't use my Instagram account after nearly 2 years, even though it's not suspended, there's no hope in me going on Threads either.

If all accounts are subject to Elon Musk's new & brilliant idea of "view count rate limits" on @Twitter dot com, shouldn't there be a view counter on your account's page that tells you how many "views" you have left in your 24 hour period?
This is not hard to implement.

#SoundOfFreedom: Based on a true story, Jim Caviezel plays Tim Ballard, a DHS agent who goes after child sex traffickers in Colombia. Well-intentioned, but a very amateurish & bad movie, poorly edited, slow-zoom shots in nearly every scene.

On this July 4, an American holiday typically synonymous with baseball, just wanted to thank Commissioner Rob Manfred for permanently ruining @MLB.
Used to attend Angels & Dodgers games every 4th of July. But now? Absolutely zero interest.

After the last 48 hours on Twitter, it's still absolutely mind-boggling that people are dumb enough to actually trust Twitter with their personal information in order to "get verified."
Elon Musk is destroying his social media platform from within.

#EveryBody: An excellent documentary focuses upon 3 Intersex people's lives, experiences & activism to end medically unnecessary, life-altering surgeries of children. It's educational & eye-opening, examining the errors of past "science."
We all may be rate limited, but we can still tweet about what a complete and absolute moron Elon Musk devolved into after he turned 50.
Cognitive mental decline sure affects a hella lotta people.

Only a matter of time before Elon Musk's next insanely dumb move is to cut off Twitter from all VPNs.
They've experimented with it before.

For #RateLimitExceeded to be trending in 2023, when it was a negative part of Twitter's growing pains in the early 2010's, shows you just how badly Elon Musk is destroying his own media company.
There has to be a better alternative, and Mastodon ain't it.
Save us Jack Dorsey?
Any businesses that have been primarily relying on social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) to market their businesses are doing everything imaginable wrong.
And now Elon Musk is intentionally making it even more difficult for you than ever before.

The #RIPTwitter tweets are the usual overreaction, but how many self-inflicted wounds can this company take before the owner realizes that he's the biggest problem?

Elon Musk simply continues to make bafflingly stupid decisions that are going to cut into Twitter's already declining advertising revenue.
Twitter Blue subscriptions are a fart in the wind to their bottom line.
It doesn't have to be like this, but Elon gonna Elon.

The terrible ideas get exponentially worse every single day.
I could understand imposing limits on how many tweets you can post in a day.
But read? That further degrades advertising reach and scale.
Elon Musk continues to sabotage his own company in the most baffling ways.

#RubyGillmanTeenageKraken: A teenage girl living in "Oceanside" discovers that she's really a kraken. It looks really nice for the most part and it's got enough laughs to make it good enough for families. But also formulaic and forgettable.
