   I like the fact that mastodon.social is the biggest instance, but I would leave for an instance that is paid only, say $10/month, has a cool domain name, and thus can afford to raise the rate limits.

   Mastodon.social feels like early Twitter both culturally (good), and fail-whale-wise (not good).

     @gruber Rate limits are primarily about abuse prevention (spam, scraping), so it’s not about affordability. Which limits are you hitting? Perhaps I can adjust the software itself.

     @Gargron I‘ve been seeing “error: too many requests” a lot in the last several days myself. I suspect it might be that I’ve been playing with a lot of clients and maybe too many are refreshing often enough that I got rate limited.

     Would love to see these limits increase! I think they’re all authenticated requests too.

     @Gargron @gruber even I, with my tiny account, did hit the rate limiter when exploring/searching other accounts

     @Gargron @gruber Eugen, this is the rate limits that I am facing.
