According to a post from Twitter\u2019s support account, the \u201cnew\u201d version of TweetDeck is now officially available to everyone. This was a necessary step to assist address some of the recent problems that TweetDeck has been having. However, this change does come with some worry, as in 30 days, TweetDeck will become a verified-only feature. This means that you\u2019ll have to purchase a Twitter Blue subscription in order to utilise it. For almost two years, TweetDeck\u2019s new edition has been in preview.<\/p>\n
As per two Twitter employees, all users will be required to transition to the new TweetDeck. Further, the employee also provided a few minor clarifications regarding the old TweetDeck. Recently, TweetDeck has been unusable for many users of the old interface. According to a report by the Verge, all of their columns were simply spinning with a \u201cLoading\u2026\u201d notice, and others too experienced a similar issue.<\/p>\n
The empty columns appeared after Twitter started rate-limiting tweets, although, in the opinion of Twitter staff, the rate limitations weren\u2019t the root cause of the issues with the old TweetDeck. Instead, the staff asserts that the problems resulted from Twitter disabling legacy APIs in order to stop data scraping.<\/p>\n
One of the employees expressed, \u201cRate limits only apply to new TweetDeck and Twitter. Legacy TweetDeck uses legacy APIs, and those have been removed to reduce scraping.\u201d Another employee explained that the issues are \u201cdefinitely not related to the rate limit.\u201d<\/p>\n
An employee explained that the process to force the conversion will start \u201cthis week,\u201d and in response, people are pleading with Twitter to \u201cplease don\u2019t.\u201d The Verge has expressed that the TweetDeck was never as per their liking and they did not prefer it, so they hope that now that the platform has brought changes, it should be for the better. As per the same report, when the publication tried reaching out to Twitter for a comment, they were auto-replied with a poop emoji. Reportedly, this is the response Twitter has been receiving since March.<\/p>\n
In the recent turn of events, Twitter has put accessibility restrictions in place as the platform has claimed that it is under attack from several hundred organisations. Users now have to log in to view any tweet. If they choose not to be on the platform, they won\u2019t be able to see any tweets. What\u2019s more, there is a restriction on the number of tweets a user can view in a day. Those who have verified accounts will be able to read 6,000 posts a day, while unverified accounts will have access to 600 posts a day, and new unverified accounts will have access to 300 posts a day. Due to this, users have reported that they are seeing \u201cRate Limit Exceeded\u201d messages.<\/p>\n
A web developer, Sheldon Chang, reported that a bug in the web app is responsible for sending continuous requests to Twitter in an infinite loop. Chang reported that Twitter is \u201cDDOSing itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The platform is experiencing a series of problems. Reports do suggest that it could be because of a bug in Javascript, but it is also possible that Twitter might have defaulted on some bill payments, as they have done since Musk took over the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
