@nickheer @caseynewton For a brief moment I thought it was a return of the Australia and New Zealand outage from a week ago.

@caseynewton yup.

@caseynewton Tweetbot and Twitterific.
Show threadAdam Gessaman Jan 13, 2023
@caseynewton Yes. Broken here too. Twitterific also not working.
Show threadAnthony BravoJan 13, 2023
@caseynewton Twitterrific is down too. Looks like Elon finally killed the API.

@caseynewton multiple 3rd party clients, no communication as to if its a bug or …

@paul @caseynewton @gruber if only Twitter still had a PR department 😠
Show threadEdwin G.Jan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton If I recall correctly, shouldn’t Tweetbot be on this list?
Show threadTyler A.Jan 13, 2023
@edwing Tweetbot and Twitterrific are both in my list and I still can’t connect. But yes, they should be there.
Show threadmike 😴Jan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton tweetbot mac not showing up in my connected apps panel. i see this tweetbot ios app but i think this is an old one, not the one currently in use? it sure looks like they're removing third party clients. awful
Show threadJ.I. VicuñaJan 13, 2023
@schneider @paul @caseynewton Seems like it. The credentials for all third-party apps are gone, yet for some reason, the one for the “dead” PSVita client is still there.
Show threadmike 😴Jan 13, 2023
@javicuna @paul @caseynewton would still take the Vita app over the official one
Show threadCraig HockenberryJan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton Can confirm: we are currently suspended on iOS. Weirdly, macOS is fine.
Show threadJay 🆘Jan 13, 2023
@chockenberry @paul @caseynewton No good engineers left over there
Show threadDavid NelsonJan 13, 2023
@chockenberry @paul @caseynewton Curious, by suspended do you mean it just doesn’t work, or have you received explicit word that the app’s API access is revoked?
Show threadEdwin G.Jan 13, 2023
@chockenberry @paul @caseynewton Any idea as to why, if you’re allowed to share ofc
Show threadMark Nichols (LGBTQIA+ Ally)Jan 13, 2023
@chockenberry @paul @caseynewton Twitterrific is unable to connect on iOS and iPadOS, but is still working on my Mac. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Welp, so long, Twitter.

@paul @caseynewton right now would be a great time to open up some more spots on the @ivory beta. Send out a smoke signal first please so I can be ready for the 10 second window before all the spots are taken 😉

He will want you to pay extra for the check AND 3rd party apps…

Show threadAlfArtiganJan 13, 2023
@caseynewton @paul @marcoarment With T's feed changes and hemorrhaging of advertisers and Elon's lust for total control over the platform, this seems inevitable TBH.
Show threadJay O’ConorJan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton But not _all_ 3rd party clients? Aviary (no longer in iOS App Store) still works for me. Newly downloaded and authenticated Aviary 2 also works
Show threadBen SandofskyJan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton 8:30 pm on a Thursday night would be a weird time to flip a switch, so I’d lean toward stupidity rather than malice.
Show threadPaul Haddad Jan 13, 2023
@sandofsky I hope so but could also be stupid malice.
Show threadJaanus KaseJan 13, 2023

@paul @sandofsky When I go to “Connected apps” on Twitter, I still see a bunch of thirdparty apps, but no longer Tweetbot.

My money says Elon intentionally removed some arbitrary set of thirdparty apps that he does not like.

We have a classic abusive relationship with Twitter. Chief Abuser at the helm. Maybe he throws some breadcrumbs back at us and then we should congratulate him and be thankful.

@jaanus @paul @sandofsky same here. I just checked and it’s gone. Maybe they are culling the bigger Twitter clients.
Show threadGed MaheuxJan 13, 2023
@jaanus @paul @sandofsky Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Just the kind of petty crap he’s been pulling since he took over Twitter. Twitterrific for macOS continues to function ATM. So that part is certainly confusing. We’ve heard nothing from Twitter yet.

@sandofsky @paul @caseynewton kinda like Christmas Eve being a weird time to shut down a data center?
Show threadQuinn NelsonJan 13, 2023
@paul @caseynewton Not particularly helpful, but it doesn’t seem to be all apps. Spring still works.
Show threadPaul Haddad Jan 13, 2023
@snazzyq @caseynewton I’m sure either if it’s a bug or intentional, it would impact the apps with the largest user base first.

@snazzyq @caseynewton Twittelator still works.

@caseynewton It's not Twitter, it's 3rd party apps. They are not being allowed to authorize.

@caseynewton yep. Twitterific too.

Jason Cipriani (@[email protected])

Tweetbot says it can’t authenticate my account and won’t/can’t pull new tokens to re-authorize. Is the API down? Or did Twitter finally pull the plug on third party apps? (I’ve been waiting for Musk to do the latter.) What are you seeing @[email protected]

@caseynewton Yep. It seems to be all the 3rd-party apps down, all at once. Sure feels like the hand of the Dear Leader. If he just killed API access, that's a death knell.
