 @tekcor Technically? Absolutely nothing, I have API keys that aren't suspended and have the ability to remotely update them in probably 5-10 minutes. Practically? I'm not going to play silly games and I don't want to worry about getting sued by someone with an unlimited legal budget. 34 comments
@paul if the man baby has decided he doesn’t want you in his playpen, it’s easier to just stay out. His reaction when he realised that you circumvented his response would be much worse. And just because he recently lost much of his “value” (wealth) doesn’t mean he’s not got lots more to spend on lawyers @paul @UnderpantsGnome @paul I haven’t either. In my opinion, they’ve kicked me off their platform.  @UnderpantsGnome @paul @tekcor 💯%, I even uninstalled the official app to make sure I don’t open it by mistake... @illogical_me @UnderpantsGnome @paul Mine is still installed and I keep hitting it out of habit. I keep holding out hope that it’ll start working again, even though I’m pretty confident it won’t. @illogical_me @paul @tekcor same, I moved it off my Home Screen and put Metatext there until I can get @ivory @paul @tekcor FWIW, there’s no reason to assume this is permanent and not a bug. Right now it’s still just gossip. If there’s no official statement, then technically you’re still responsibile to your customers to fix it ASAP. Switch keys, get in the fix, and push to the App Store. Better to get it done and have options, than not get it done and have none.  @spencer @radley @paul @tekcor No, I get what he’s saying. A reasonable person would assume if this was intentional and permanent there would be comms, right? So without that, there’s no “for sure” way to know it’s intentional. Just hearsay and rumors on blogs, right? So if Paul “doesn’t know” (wink) that it’s permanent and intentional due to lack of comms, it would be reasonable for him to believe it was his issue to fix, and to publish a fix. @radley @paul @tekcor There’s no comms because… there’s no comms team at Twitter. A bunch of SpaceX or Tesla employees are probably trying to temper what musky really wants to say. More importantly, it’s just rumors on blogs, it’s someone at twitter telling others at twitter who are asking what’s going on that the suspensions are intentional. At best, Twitter is working on inserting adds into API-served timelines and then they’ll reverse the suspensions. More likely this is, as they say, The End @paul @tekcor Uhhh, have you tried going to https://developer.twitter.com/apitools now? It’s….gone. Looks as close to official “conformation” that there is no making a working Twitter client any more. @paul stupid idea you’ve likely already considered: allow folks to create their own API keys and plug them into Tweetbot? @monorailtimes The trouble is audience. The overwhelming majority of the accounts I want to follow are not using Mastodon. It feels like we’re all software developers over here. @tekcor @monorailtimes @paul With the right client Twitter was/is still a nice source of information, if you follow the right accounts :thinkerguns: and unfortunately I‘m still missing some of them here in the fediverse :blobugh:  @EshuMarneedi @paul @tekcor the API key page is down, so nobody can get a key now... |

@paul Stealth update to Tweetbot using the valid API key to make it through app review to build out reading subscriptions for Ivory? Would probably work for the review tester before getting enough attention?
