Molly Whitei also wonder to what extent elon foresees that this may just push people to accomplish the same things they were doing via the API by less polite means
scraping, headless browsers, etc

I wrote a few thoughts on the Botwiki blog: https://botwiki.org/blog/twitter-shutting-down-free-access-to-their-api-on-february-9/ #Twitter #TwitterAPI #TwitterBots #bots #CreativeBots
Adi Robertsonit feels a little silly but the Twitter API news genuinely makes me sad. twitter bots were one of the unique art forms of the ‘10s, and I had so much fun following so many of them over the years

Fun fact - #layoffs are a social contagion amongst businesses, and do little (to nothing) to actually help companies recover during economic downturns.
Don’t take my word for it - this comes from years of study and scholarly research:

What explains recent tech layoffs, and why should we be worried? | Stanford News
As layoffs in the tech sector mount, Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer is worried. Research – by him, and others – has shown that the stress layoffs create takes a devastating toll on behavioral and physical health and increases mortality and morbidity substantially. Layoffs literally kill people, he said.

Paul KrugmanObviously we've had problems, and would do things differently with the benefit of hindsight. But does this outcome really look like a catastrophe? 8/
Steven BeschlossYes, there are too many malignant narcissists and sociopaths in positions of power. But the bigger problem is the number of voters drawn to them and enablers cheering them on.
Augie RayI gave up 15 years on Twitter and 22,000 followers. I used my anniversary to invite others to follow me to Mastodon, and I pointed out that every tweet is a donation to Musk. We know what he is and what he's doing. He gave Michael Flynn his account back on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
I started my #Twitter exodus as a boycott against Musk. Now, I'm thrilled to be here. I miss a few things, but Mastodon is just built better. I feel like it makes me (and you) better, too.

Ryan LeggI’ve been asking for this to happen for years. It seems like an easy thing to add and it would make the Watch experience so much nicer.
