Tweetbot is (mostly) working again

Tweetbot is back online after an outage left major third-party Twitter apps broken. The service currently lets users sign in and browse, but users are still struggling to post tweets.

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.

@paul to overcome this, i’m now trying to build a tool that syncs my timeline to a private mastodon server… to many of my contacts still use twitter sadly and i can’t live without tweetbot, but ivory as twitter client could be my solution :D

@niko Birdsitelive does something similar. Uses your own api key too and works well for me so far until its doesn’t I suppose.

@steve This was mentioned multiple times to me but it doesn’t let me interact with twitter, only with the twitter contents on mastodon but that’s not the idea 😅
