Oh hey, Tweetbot works again
UPDATE: Never mind
The Shit Show β€’ furbo.org

Well, it happened. We knew it was coming. A prick pulled the plug. And what bothers me most about it is how Space Karen did it. My mom passed away just before Christmas. Her decline was something everyone in the family saw coming and we prepared for her demise. It still hurts like hell, but […]

And now dead again, along with some old unused API keys, which proves that this was intentional and we and others were specifically targeted. I wouldn't have swapped out the keys in the first place if there was even a shred of communication. Figured if nothing else this would push the issue. Oh well, on to smaller but greener pastures.

@caseynewton I use twidere and only see things from you and @georgetakei
@caseynewton it’s making me sad. Twitter is not the same.
@caseynewton Well that took a turn I didn't expect
@johnvoorhees @caseynewton my guess is someone found the server and turned it back on
@johnvoorhees @caseynewton At the time Spring stopped working for me.
@johnvoorhees @caseynewton Important point: I only seem able to read, not post. If I try to post, it tells me I’m over my limit.

@johnvoorhees @caseynewton Tapbots swapped their API key in protest. It barely works and will be banned again I expect.

@caseynewton Worked for me too about 10 minutes ago. Almost a shame, I am sure the outage, or whatever we should call it, gave me an extra hour or two this weekend.
@caseynewton shhh, let's not say anything because El Musko will pull the plug again... I can't use Twitter without Tweetbot lol
@caseynewton still down for me. Cannot login. Running Tweetbot 5.3.3. Can’t wait for #Ivory
@caseynewton can read tweets, but can’t post. Also, thank you for sharing this.
@caseynewton not on Mac β€” just tried and failed
@caseynewton always at the forefront πŸ’ͺ
@caseynewton Can read my timeline again. Posting a tweet gives an error message. Let’s hope that will get resolved soon! πŸ™
@caseynewton Go home Elon, you’re … well, I don’t know what you are, but just go home.
@caseynewton I can login and read my feed, but it looks like there’s some kind of rate limiting in place, which prevents me from posting
@tapbots
@caseynewton I learned about it, checked that it was broke, and now it’s back all within a 15 min timespan today.
@caseynewton For whatever reason, Spring never stopped working… *knocks on wood*
@caseynewton My trusty kid Tweetbot 5.3 still doesn’t work, but the newest version does

Too late. I spent the last 2 days reconfiguring all my follows between Insta, Reeder, and here, and I'm never going back.

@caseynewton You can read the timeline but you cannot post due to rate limits. So it's barely functional.
@caseynewton it can request tokens, but it still won’t let me log in
@tim @caseynewton seems to be working now, let me log right in
@mkmcg @caseynewton this is what I get on all of my accounts (some 2fa, some not). This is farther in the login process than it’s gotten, but still won’t connect
@mkmcg @caseynewton but some people are reporting that they can log in with certain accounts but not others
@caseynewton Twitterrific still not working for me. 
@caseynewton I can view the main timeline but other views, like user profiles, fail. Weird.

β€œThis is a proof that #Twitter has deliberately suspended @tweetbot. The developers just created a new Twitter API app and obtained new credentials. The app works, albeit with limits. Twitter API is not broken. If a platform pushes devs to resort to such workarounds, it's doomed”

@caseynewton Not for me here in New Zealand. Can't authorise my account.
@caseynewton nope, it worked for like 20 minutes, back down for me though
@caseynewton tons of reports on the Tweetbot subreddit (is there a subreddit for everything?) that things stopped working again around 5:30pm CT
@caseynewton still not working for me :(
