Apparently the parts of Twitter that run on Google Cloud are the parts dealing with safety. moderation, and anti-harassment. Musk loses nothing but Twitter becomes an even worse place than it currently is.

Each Warrior can only work on one project at a time. You can spin up multiples and have them process different projects. Just remember to use "bridged" instead of "NAT" on the virtual adapter so they each get a unique local IP address.

Not sure. I'm leaving mine running for as long as possible to get what can still be archived. When some subreddits come back on the 15th the process will pick up. Then it is a dash until the API dies.

I wonder if this is because many people on Twitter just automatically block anyone with a blue checkmark (paid) when they see a response and the trolls have their feelings hurt so they run to Musk shouting about how they paid to be heard so he should force people to unblock them. That's the kind of childish argument I would expect.

I think that is just a happy coincidence for Musk. The park of Twitter hosted on Google is the part dealing with harassment and safety. Removing that means more money to piss away but also amplification of hate speech and trolling. I bet the EU will try to smack Twitter with another fine bigger than the bill for Google because of this.

Spinning circle after clicking the Sign Up button? That has been my experience with multiple sites now.

I don't think so. I've been trying to find a tool to export as much of a site as possible but haven't found that yet. Bulk Downloader For Reddit, or BDFR might do the tick but I don't have an instance running yet to see.

I believe it is to prevent getting your IP blocked. At least that is what I got from the FAQ.

Hard pass. Meta doesn't need any more of my data.

I worry about Discord imploding because everything is behind the walled garden and difficult to extract unlike a forum board or playlist. The landgrab with account renames will be an interesting test for them.
