You know what’s next with the #Twitter / #X API? #ElonMusk randomly pulling the plug and screwing you and your customers again.

#Musk is trying to remove the #Twitter block feature but I bet that #Elon would still be able to block people. Because fuck you he’s special.
#ElonMusk says #Twitter will no longer have a light mode, making dark mode the default. Because fuck you.
#ElonMusk is rebranding #Twitter to “X” as the first step towards making it the “everything” app including messaging, social media, and payment services.
Maybe he should figure out how to do the Twitter thing first.
Elon Musk's decision to add daily reading limits to prevent data scraping also has the following impact:
- Reduces Twitter's search engine exposure, reducing new signups
- Reduces the number of real-time info providers, which also reduces the number of people looking for that content
- Reduces Twitter's advertising revenue as active user count and confidence in the future of the platform are also reduced
I liked the Internet better when it wasn't a handful of proprietary social media platforms run by narcissists.
I really wish Apple was on Mastodon so that I could plead with them to stop launching Apple Music in macOS every time I remove my AirPods. I despise Musk's Twitter so much that I'll just keep closing the app by hand and cross my fingers.
All it will take for #Mastodon to overtake #Twitter is for organizations like the White House, news organizations, and others, to spin up their own Mastodon instances for their own official communications and continue posting as usual. And the dedicated instance addresses will be a better method of validation than a blue check.
Twitter's revocation of third party app access to its APIs, without notice or explanation, is another nail in the coffin for #ElonMusk's favorite toy. On a brighter note, the makers of my favorite #Twitter app, #Tweetbot, are already working on a new Mastodon iOS app named #Ivory.
Ivory for Mastodon

People feel that #ElonMusk is destroying their #twitter, so they're fighting to get it back. The problem is that it was never theirs in the first place. Even if it were restored to its glory it could be corrupted again in the future. The only way to stop this cycle is for the masses to adopt a federated platform owned by no one. That's why I moved to #mastodon.

Funny that #ElonMusk fired top executives at #twitter for mismanaging the company and now he says that “bankruptcy is not out of the question”.
The one, I’d venture to say the ONLY, feature people really want in a paid subscription version of #Twitter is an ad-free experience. Looks like #TwitterBlue failed at the start.
