Today in XBrilliant.
Twitter has suspended every single API key not belonging to a Twitter Blue subscriber.
Every. Single. Key. 9to5Mac’s? Dead. Apple’s for iMessage previews? Dead.
Every single API key has been revoked. The Twitter API is officially dead.
Oblomov@TodayInTwitter and let me guess, they are sticking to the place instead of leaving?
Marty@oblomov @TodayInTwitter Exactly what I came here to say. Not enough people/groups have the guts to trust their community to move platforms, and instead cowardly stay on Twitter, feeding a machine that slowly works to destroy them - and everything else.

@martincrownover @oblomov @TodayInTwitter Interesting that you just assume everyone on Twitter is in a position to just up and leave. Is my wife a horrible person because she's still on Twitter because her job automatically posts her articles from the website she writes for to Twitter? And that she has to engage with users there because of her job? Is she just supposed to up and find a new job?
To quote Obi Wan Kenobi, only the Sith deal in absolutes.
@rvaweather @oblomov @TodayInTwitter I don't know your wife's situation, but you should really think about the questions you've posed.
Nobody *has* to be on Twitter. That's just silly.
If supporting Twitter as it transforms into another far-right shithole goes against your wife's values, she *should* advocate for change at her org or find a new job.
If she supports new Twitter/doesn't care about all the harm that platform can - and does - cause, well... yeah, she might be a horrible person.
@martincrownover @oblomov @TodayInTwitter But another thing I want to bring up is, the people who are going to stay there are going to stay there no matter how much of a stink we make. So why make a stink? It just comes across as condescending and kind of "holier than thou". Why can't we just enjoy interacting with all those who HAVE come over here, rather than continuing to beat a dead horse so to speak? No one's ever been persuaded by being called names and belittled.
@rvaweather @oblomov @TodayInTwitter I'm here largely because I changed my mind and tried another platform, and I'm certainly not alone in that.
It's not belittling to point out to people that their actions are legitimizing hate and bigotry. People will change their minds.
I don't spend a lot of time talking about this stuff here - this is probabaly the most I've delved into it. But you should not treat Twitter as a permanent inevitability. It's not, and no social media ever will be.
