Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub – we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.

I love how Barnes & Noble specifically promoted some of these "banned" books. Every library and bookstore should do this.

3rd party Twitter clients no longer have access to Twitter's API.

The response from Twitter? Silence.

That Twitter won't say anything is egregious. It demonstrates they should never be trusted with any developer ecosystem again.

Third-Party Twitter Apps Stop Working in What Appears to Be a Widespread Outage

The company's silence leaves users and developers guessing: glitch or deliberate cutoff?

A wide range of #Twitter third party apps (including Twitterrific, Tweetbot and Echofon) appear to have been disabled. https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/state-of-the-twitterverse/

State of the Twitterverse • The Breakroom

Last night at about 7:30pm PST, Twitterrific customers started reporting problems accessing Twitter via the iOS app. News quickly spread on Twitter and Mastodon that a wide range of third party apps like Twitterrific, Tweetbot, Echofon, and many others had been disabled.

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.

Media Matters and GLAAD saw a 1,200% increase in anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech since Musk’s takeover of Twitter

Libs of TikTok saw more than a 600% increase in mentions containing the slur “groomer”

Accounts linked to disinformation and hate speech have soared while legitimate journalists are being banned swiftly

When you sit down at the table with a Nazi, there are two Nazis

There is no legitimate reason to still be on Twitter. Not “resisting” not anything.
