A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

3rd-party Twitter clients are going to have quite a spike in popularity then, just need to implement clientside blocking.
Twitter is killing those, too: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/22/23564460/twitter-third-party-apps-history-contributions

Looks like Twitter is following in Reddit's foot steps, or maybe the other way around?
Yeah it's the other way around. Twitter straight up neutered api access for 3rd party apps late last year. It's a race to the bottom here.
