3rd party Twitter clients no longer have access to Twitter's API.

The response from Twitter? Silence.

That Twitter won't say anything is egregious. It demonstrates they should never be trusted with any developer ecosystem again.

Third-Party Twitter Apps Stop Working in What Appears to Be a Widespread Outage

The company's silence leaves users and developers guessing: glitch or deliberate cutoff?

Twitter is simply not a reliable product - not technically, not its moderation and not its strategic direction.

Why does anyone continue to give it credibility through use. Musk has told us where he's headed. Believe him.

@TCatInReality @atomicpoet Agree, but not so much for the regular users, but the governments, and their officials, and the journalists, who are literally behaving as if they are fentanyl addicts (let's be real here, they're dopamine addicts), and the red muppet Manchurian Qovidiot fifth columnist for Putin & Xi plague rat is their only dealer. Even as the very drug they are addicted to, does everything in its power to destroy them.

It's gross!

It is gross

But every user helps confer legitimacy on Twitter. If regular users flee, the corps and media would be gone in a minute.

@TCatInReality @atomicpoet You would think, but the journalists and the politicians don't seem to be giving up, any time soon. Not in enough numbers to convince, for example, the federal government of Canada to shut down all of their accounts.

@thespoonless @atomicpoet
If the "regular users" go, the gov and journalists will go.

@TCatInReality @atomicpoet Maybe. They don't seem to have budged, so far.
