TWITTER USERS LOOKING TO MIGRATE: The Mastodon app is a bit rubbish. That's a barrier for me.
TWITTER: Don't worry! We'll screw over our own 3rd party devs, so they jump ship and build better ones!
@garius Yes! Last week there was a lot of mid-wit pontificating that shutting out 3rd party devs was actually smart business sense, as they aren’t contributing to the bottom line, but that ignores this crucial point: you’ve got a group of developers who aren't really affecting your bottom line very much and are arguably improving your social graph, who are now totally committed to improving your competitor’s product! That doesn't seem strategically great!

@donmacdonald @garius

Aye. 3party apps still count towards traffic numbers that can be used to lie to advertisers about 'reach'

I will never understand why right-wing people have such an obsession with rich bellends that fail their way through running businesses
