It is funny to me how Twitter just posts merrily about their "new API" like it's the hot new thing when they've systematically burned bridges with every app developer after ruining a flourishing API ecosystem a few years ago

Do you sometimes think about how Twitter was already on its way out in 2016 and then the presidency happened and now we're stuck with both

@Gargron You'll like it even more when Twitter gets smashed to pieces within your lifetime, which I think is a reasonable thing to hope for.

I like how they repeatedly pretend that third-party client apps don't need to exist and just dismiss that use case entirely. They REALLY want people using their crappy, manipulative, ad-infested official apps. Doubly funny because many features that were later baked into the platform itself first emerged in third-party apps. Like, you know, retweets, replies, all that kind of stuff.

That said, Twitter was amazing 10 years ago. That openness gave so many interesting opportunities. No one could've thought they'll be taking that away for the sake of earning all the money in the world.

@Gargron The hubris once you reach a certain size is ridiculous and I would love to sit down in a room with them one on one and ask them "Would YOU use your own product?"

@Gargron I’ve always hated Twitter. I’m brand new here, so still trying to get the feel of the community, but I’m up for anything that’s not Twitter.

@Gargron Looks like the last remaining functions of Tweedle will stop working. So sad...
