Sad that my friends building apps on Twitter got cut off from the API - I spent a lot of time working to keep that API alive - but, happy to see folks like Tapbots here building on #mastodonapi https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-tweetbot-developers-fighting-twitter/

@andypiper their willingness to pivot to making mastodon better and more accessible is so inspiring and really it’s a story that should be more widely told
