PCMagRIP Third-Party Twitter Clients: In just a few days, Twitter has destroyed over 15 years of fruitful collaboration with third-party developers, and we're all worse off for it. https://www.pcmag.com/opinions/rip-third-party-twitter-clients
Ken@PCMag or are we better off for it
Biason::Julio::new();Although ad revenue is the most likely reason for Twitter's actions, I think there's also a larger issue at hand. Musk has made it clear that he's the boss and will fire who he wants, ban who he wants, and reinstate who he wants. The very idea that there are other applications out there that could deliver an experience not in line with Musk's vision seems out of line with his authoritarian impulses.
Ooof.
LeftyLabourTechToronto@juliobiason @PCMag Most interesting analysis I've heard about what Musk is up to came from Yanis Varoufakis. He thinks Musk doesn't give a crap about Twitter. He bought it because he wants a cloud platform with millions of users to integrate into his other businesses. Twitter was the only one for sale and he brought it. Thus he joins Bezos, Zuckerberg etc. as a "cloudalist" billionaire. The Twitter business? He doesn't give a crap about.
Old profile, new has B+W picI stopped using Twitter after my preferred app stopped being able to connect.
Twitter will collapse when enough left wing people leave.
Right wingers don't build communities, this is primarily why RW social media sites perk fast and collapse. They're insular and LW people don't bother with RW soc-sites. Thus RW people have no "libs' to own" that is necessary for keeping any semblance of cohesion
Dani DanisI mostly used Tweetbot, but I really liked the Twitterific refresh animation.
Never liked the official app.

Carbonman@PCMag I guess TweetDeck is next. Too bad.
Deadly Headshot@PCMag Just checked, the 3rd-party client I use on Android still works, so they're still under the radar...
