A quick post to let everyone again know what this means.
The @poshtoken comments alerting authors of the shared posts will now not work any longer.
Congrats @desireeart for getting the last share in, although you're not registered on the POSH website for rewards. :P
Turns out Twitter was in a hurry to shut down their API's and couldn't wait a few more days for the first of the month as they initially mentioned.
The new limits are well, quite limited as you can see by this screenshot provided by our dev @rishi556:
We've done 50k requests in just about a week, even the basic (non free) tier won't be enough to cover our needs.
Don't worry, though, we'll be figuring something out. We're working on the website and have quite a few ideas on how to adapt to this situation. The community has also been wonderful in sharing their ideas with us of which some are really great. I'll talk about it when we've decided but currently waiting on the revamped website to be ready, so stay tuned!
For the time being, we wouldn't mind it if sharers started embedding the tweets themselves in the comment section of posts they share, our curation team will most likely turn to scrolling through the #hive tag on Twitter to look for shares to reward with hive votes and potentially soon also POSH rewards.
It's quite late here, this sudden closure came as a surprise to us so it took a while for us to notice the comments had stopped operating, just wanted to get this quick post out for any questions that may occur once everyone starts waking up to the lack of comments of their shares. It was great while it lasted and the effects of POSH are surely going to last and carry the name of Hive throughout the web2 space.
Stay tuned as we adapt to this roadblock and continue building and adding more utilities and functions to POSH!
