neville parkTwitter: increasingly draconian attempts to wipe out third-party app ecosystem
Mastodon: someone made an app for mid-00's PDAs https://github.com/NattyNarwhal/PocketToot (source: https://cronk.stenoweb.net/@calvin/99937490127548729)
a variety of corvid@nev that 3rd party app thing is a major factor in my decision to leave Twitter. (My client doesn't work? I'll just login to the website then. And delete my account.)
They created this crisis by relying on in-band advertising.
Jag Talon โจ@nev this is awesome haha
BadWrongFun@nev Hoping somebody can maybe make one for 3DS soon. Maybe even Wii for funsies
Mx Lottie@badwrongfun @nev oooo this would be interesting...hmmm now I wanna make one for DS
Bleak Grey@badwrongfun @nev I wish I could make one for my 3DS ๐ค
'(vidak) _(:3ใโ )_@nev yes this is a good toot
banned for burgerposting@nev I mean, not to say they *shouldn't* support the third party app ecosystem, but you have to remember they're the only mainstream social network that ever let you use 3rd party apps in the first place

@nev (hence, the only mainstream social network I was still using even occasionally, because I knew the app I was using wasn't collecting all sorts of data on my phone)

@nev just another example why businesses shouldn't develop core social infrastructure.
AudioRCA@nev To be fair though it's perfectly possible for a Mastodon server host to restrict the app API, but that's left to the server host and so far there aren't any besides the one McAfee forked that do it like that.
antlers@nev @complications seems potentially relephant
