Following Twitter’s server outage earlier today, some might be wondering why even if they can login, their Twitter feed is down and not refreshing starting this July 1. If so, well, we have some bad news for you.

Twitter Feed Down and Not Refreshing This July 1:

Don’t bother searching for a fix, as your Twitter feed isn’t refreshing due to a change by billionaire owner Elon Musk imposing rate limit, which means you have a limited number of times you can read new tweets! No, I am not joking. We’ve included the announcement tweet (and screenshot in case it won’t load for you given the new limits).

Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 1, 2023

Why is Musk doing this? Well, while he hasn’t specifically said it’s due to the Twitter servers, a recent article (via Engadget) mentions how Twitter (read: Musk) doesn’t want to pay for Google Cloud servers.

As you can imagine, there is no end time/date for this, so if you find someone wondering what happened, just direct them to this article.

No word on whether this is permanent and for how long. If I were you, you might want to start looking for another social media platform for news, though that’s easier said than done. We’ll post an update whether this changes or if Elon comes to his sense.

As for MP1st, we are already thinking of alternatives. While we have our Facebook page, we do want something “snappier” when it comes to sharing our content. If anyone has suggestions, leave a comment below and let us know.
