So now the deadbird site, formerly known as Twitter, is inviting developers to come back and "build what's next" with the much abused API.
Twitter (and Reddit)'s greed-infused API restrictions wrecked a project we (ASU News Co/Lab) were doing to help journalists send corrections down the same social media pathways as the original journalism.
The idea that we'd ever work with them again is a sick joke.

How to use Mastodon:
Step 1: Sign up.
Step 2: Do regular social media stuff.
Journalists: Only those with advanced degrees in computer science should even attempt to navigate Mastodon, the frustrations of its complexities will drive the average user to a state of hysteria.
