Following Musk\u2019s announcement, it seems like a lot of users went flocking to Twitter\u2019 rivals. According to a report by The Verge, <!-- -->Bluesky<!-- --> \u2014 which claims to be a decentralised social network \u2014 had to temporarily halt up new sign-ups. In a post, BlueSky said, \u201cWe will temporarily be pausing Bluesky sign-ups while our team continues to resolve the existing performance issues. We\u2019ll keep you updated when invite codes will resume functionality. We\u2019re excited to welcome more users to our beta soon!\u201d<br \/>Bluesky is incidentally backed by former Twitter CEO <!-- -->Jack Dorsey<!-- -->. <br \/>According to the report, another Twitter rival saw thousands of users signing up. <!-- -->Mastodon<!-- -->, which is also a Twitter-like platform, also saw close to 26,000 sign-ups in a single day. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">A mass exodus from Twitter?<\/span><br \/>Elon Musk stated that the restrictions were implemented to prevent &#8220;extreme levels of data scraping&#8221; and &#8220;system manipulation&#8221; by &#8220;several hundred organizations.&#8221; Musk expressed concern on Friday about the extensive scraping of Twitter data by numerous organizations, which he claimed had negatively impacted the user experience. He claimed that companies that use large amounts of data to train artificial intelligence language models are to blame. <br \/>The Twitter executive chairman said that he found it frustrating that his team had to urgently bring a large number of servers online to meet the excessive demands of some AI startups seeking outrageous valuations. Musk later announced that the limits would be relaxed to 8,000 for verified accounts and 800 for non-Twitter Blue users. The current rate limits are 10,000, 1,000, and 500 tweets per day for Blue, non-Blue, and newly registered users, respectively.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) \n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() \n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        ;\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) \n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || ;\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) \n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) \n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n       else \n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config)\n          if (config) \n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);<\/p>\n<p>        )<\/p>\n<p>    ;\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/gadgets-news\/twitters-mess-leads-to-increase-in-sign-ups-on-bluesky-mastodon\/articleshow\/101450421.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] On early Sunday morning, Elon Musk dropped a rather bombshell on users by restricting the number of tweets they can see in a day.
