Twitter just announced free access to the Twitter API will end on February 9, with unannounced pricing or usage details, effectively killing every free fun and useful thing ever built with it: bots, games, mashups, visualizations, research projects, autoposters, autoblockers, deleters, and so much more. https://twitter.com/twitterdev/status/1621026986784337922

“Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵”

I guess that means the end of my own Belong.io link aggregator, which I’ve run for nearly ten years. https://belong.io/

@andybaio sorry to hear that, it must sting. Wish people could be better people, but alas billionaires don’t count among them. They turn into a monstrous swamp thing always looking to squeeze *more* than they or anyone else will ever need out of anything. Build in the fediverse, please. It’s the future!!
