I gotta be honest…

I was willing to stick it out on #Twitter for all the reasons I’ve been talking about, but mainly not abandoning another online space to the Shrieking Eels…

But killing the API & all 3rd party apps may kill Twitter for me. The native app is fucking terrible, I’m not getting all kinds of notifications, the algorithm has barfed up my feed something fierce.

And I can’t stop thinking about all those apps & the people they employ/support who just lost everything for no reason.

@catvalente Space Karen tweeted out he had no idea who asked for or uses the info line on the originating client. The guy has zero understanding of his own platform.

For me it was a clear indicator of the trustworthiness of the originator. Seeing if it's a tweet management service or Twitter for Android it tells me a lot about who is saying what and why.
