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 could you repoint it at Mastodon?
Show threadAndy BaioFeb 2, 2023
@marcprecipice maybe, but it doesn’t really fit well with the culture of mastodon

@andybaio yeah, that’s a good point.

Thank you for making it. I’ve visited it most days that it’s been live. I really enjoyed it.

@marcprecipice @andybaio FWIW I think accounts like this are in line with Mastodon thinking, I’d just host it on a bot server.

@jeffgreco @marcprecipice @andybaio Yeah I think a single-serving Mastodon Glitch server or similar would be perfect for a lil bot

@jeffgreco @marcprecipice @andybaio Looks like somebody's made an all-bot server already
