@tsyum @gamrican @debirdify Yep, it practically affects any tool and service and site that uses the 'authorize with Twitter' function, so any place you use to log in with Twitter instead of an e-mail and password too.
It just falls on each individual site or dev to decide if they want to, and if they can afford to pay whatever fee Twitter charges them.
@fringemagnet @tsyum @gamrican Oof, I had not heard of that. That does sound rough. If there are fees being charged, we will probably not offer the #debirdify service any longer.
Unless the fees are very small and the changes are very easy to implement.
That said, it would not be the first time that Twitter's new leadership announced a controversial change that makes everybody unhappy and then backpedalled soon afterwards. So let's see what happens.
@debirdify @fringemagnet @tsyum @gamrican To be clear, the $100/month fee that was mentioned in passing by the Twitter administration is not what I consider ‘very small’.
Debirdify used to get 20k users a day; now it gets maybe 20k a month. Paying $100 a month for that in addition to the server cost is simply not economic.
@fringemagnet @debirdify @tsyum @gamrican It's an absolutely mystifying move and my personal opinion is that if they have any sense in them they will not implement it, or change it back after a few days of backlash.
But who can say at this point. The general impression is that most people who did have any sense in them were either fired or left.
I don't care very much either way – Debirdify user numbers have been declining steeply, so it seems that everyone who had a need for it has used it.
