This is amazing!

“Twitter locked down its source code to prevent unauthorized changes, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The reports say that this change was made to prevent employees from ‘going rogue’ and sabotaging the platform after Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the company. Currently, a vice president must approve any changes.”

It would have been awesome for someone to sneak a full ActivityPub implementation into Twitter. 😂

@ramsey What I would like to see is a "translate this toot" link, as I like following content in multiple languages. As a matter of fact, I'll likely will *write* in multiple languages as well.
Languages rock.

@derickr that wouldn’t be hard for a client to implement, but use of the various translate APIs can get expensive, from what I understand

@derickr unless each user has their own API key 🙂

@ramsey I bet it can all be done in-browser.
