@feditips Pleaseeeeeeee, even you? It can happen on any service. The so called Fediverse also uses the servers and migration is not trivial

@feditips so basically no more public API?

@feditips how long has it been broken? I've been using an RSS feed from nitter.poast.org and I'm getting posts as recent as 4:43pm GMT

@feditips But some apps may refuse to work with certain servers.

(Not a criticism. The only red hats I own are merchandises of my local bank.)

@feditips
Fritter as an only-read client is still working.

@feditips
3rd party Twitter apps have always occupied a DADT sort of place. But does this mean the official Twitter API is dead? Because...

2015-2022:

"Create an IoT Twitter Bot in 5 Easy Steps"

"Here's How Twitter Can Connect Us To The Internet Of Things"

"Leveraging the power of Twitter for Internet of Things (IoT)"

"Design, Implementation and Analysis of a Twitter-Based Social IoT Network"

@feditips when did this happen? I did use a 3rd party app last night & it worked ok.

@feditips
Is this different than how Nitter accesses the site?

@feditips Maybe someone with still a Twitter account and a brave heart can ask Elon to implement the ActivityPub protocol.

Tell him it's for W3C compliance.

If you're not brave tell him, you're asking for a friend.

@feditips They control twitter because they don't like third party apps at all whatsoever so that's why they think they can just take away our freedom to use their platform!

Musk has not blocked all third party apps — just the most popular ones.

@feditips I just hope enough companies have Twitter problems and open their eyes for alternatives

@feditips Well, I've occasionally logged into Twitter's website, but have never installed or used the official Twitter apps. 3rd party FOSS apps have been the only way I use Twitter for many, many years now.

I announce my new mastodon home by writing it across my twitter profile picture.

That German tweet says "bye, twitter, as my fdroid twitter app no longer works and I don't have nor want a Google play store account". For context on that, read the toot this one is an answer to.

@feditips

@feditips

Yep!

#Web20 is the worst thing that happened to the #Web, and by effect: #Society at large.

Hopefully, everyone (developers in particular) have learnt invaluable lessons from this experience — thanks in large to #Twitter (under the stewardship of Elon and his team).

In tech there are no good silos!

Just for your information, I read the birdsite via TweetCaster and that still works. But it's worrying what I hear about third party apps being shutdown, because using the official app is hopeless. I now have a chronological timeline of whom I follow.Just like here, how it should be.
But there's still some sports that I follow over there, like cycling, speedskating and mostly figure skating. That's just not possible here.

@feditips I went to do my daily check-in on twitter approx. a month or so ago and my account was suspended unless I paid $11 a month. And for WHAT exactly ?! I lost 100’s of CPP’s and Veterans who I was TRYING to help by getting care, getting their pain meds. and just trying to be a friend to a lot of people who are suffering and alone. This was a VERY CRUEL thing to do to people Elon !! You are a heartless, GREEDY little man 🖕🏻

Ping @liam_b
First indication I have seen on social media of the bird site’s exclusion of third-party apps.

@feditips I wonder if it’s by design or a consequence of their incompetence at this point (read Space Karen’s)
