Hello Sieghard,

With as much influence as he already has on the world, why would such things 
matter to him.

In a very real way, I feel very sorry for him.  He must be a tortured soul,

Just my opinion, of course.

President's Tweet during Super Bowl had more engagement than his own:

Elon Musk allegedly threatened to fire Twitter’s engineers after his tweets 
during the Super Bowl attracted less engagement than president Joe Biden’s. 
During the Sunday game in which the Philadelphia Eagles faced off against the 
Kansas City Chiefs, Mr Biden tweeted a video of first lady Jill Biden 
supporting the Eagles, while Mr Musk also showed support for the same team in a 
now-deleted tweet. While the US president’s tweet garnered about 29 million

Hello Everyone,

9to5Mac - Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at 5:36 PM Twitter delaying changes to its 
API after announcing many new limitations
 
Earlier this month, Twitter announced a series of changes to its API that will 
directly impact how third-party platforms can access the social network. 
However, amid much controversy, Twitter is now delaying the changes to its API 
"for a few more days."

As announced by the official Twitter Dev account, the upcoming changes to the 
Twitter API have been delayed. The company doesn't say when the changes will go 
into effect, but it suggests that this will happen very soon.
Previously, the new rules were expected to take effect from February 9.
Twitter then said that the changes would be delayed until February 13, but the 
new rules are now being postponed again. According to Twitter, the delay is due 
to "efforts to create an optimal experience for the developer community." The 
company also claims that there's an "immense amount of enthusiasm for the 
upcoming changes with Twitter API."

What's changing in the Twitter API?
Earlier this year, Twitter announced that it would no longer allow developers 
to use its API to create third-party clients for the social network. This was 
the end of popular apps such as Tweetbot and Twitterrific.
After that, the company also revealed its plans to shut down its free API, 
which would result in a lot of good bots and automated accounts stopping 
working.

Following a slew of complaints, Twitter owner Elon Musk said the social network 
would then offer a "light, write-only API for bots providing good content that 
is free." However, this new free API comes with a number of limitations. For 
instance, it only allows 1,500 tweets per month. Developers who need more than 
this must pay at least $100 per month to access the API.
Even for those paying, Twitter will still not allow developers to create 
third-party clients as

My sentiments exactly, I love the Twitter app, and will always continue to use 
it. And if I have a problem, I'll go to the knucklehead himself and ask him. 
Why did you have to get rid of your accessibility people I follow him directly.

how many blind people are still using it.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com <mailto:n...@appleinsider.com>  (Amber 
Neely)

 

 <https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/52478-104792-twitter-xl.jpg> 

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began reporting 
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
  their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps 
not working.

<https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1615405842735714304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw> 

 

However, as Engadget points out, 
<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
  it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Pinafore is my Mastodon client of choice for the PC, and I don’t feel like it 
keeps jumping me around. This is getting off topic for this list, so feel free 
to take this up with me off list. I use JAWS and I turn quick keys off with 
JAWS-key+z and then I just use the shortcut keys for Pinafore.

I use the Tusker app on IOS. It’s currently in beta. I’ve also used Mercury and

The fact that Twitter is used by so many governments and organizations is kind 
of irrelevant, unless they’re contributing to Twitter’s bottom line. Elon Musk 
isn’t out to make Twitter a public square or a utility; he’s out to make it 
profitable and get a return on his investment. If governments and organizations 
bring in users which in turn bring in advertisers then this makes sense, but 
this hasn’t been the case for the last eight years.

I like Mastodon, but I don’t consider it a Twitter replacement. For me it feels 
more like something between Twitter and Facebook. I thin this might be in part 
due to the greater character limits on toots. I also find Mastodon to be more 
conversational than Twitter or even email, but this may just be the way I use 
Twitter. I also like the content warnings in Mastodon. It makes it easier to 
avoid inflammatory toots and gives me a chance to warn people about something I 
might be tooting. What I like most about Mastodon though, and the absolute #1 
reason I’m more active on Mastodon then I’ve been on either Facebook or Twitter 
is the plethora of accessible clients. I guess I have a pretty low bar when it 
comes to how much inconvenience I’ll put up with to participate in social 
media, and I find Mastodon clients set that bar lower than the alternatives.

I joined dragonscave.space. It has a lot of blind users on that instance. You 
can move from instance to instance, but I haven’t done this myself.

I use the Tusker app on IOS. It’s currently in beta. I’ve also used Mercury and 
Metatext, which are also accessible. The Mastodon app is accessible but doesn’t 
have as many features as other apps. I’ve heard good things about Toot, but I 
haven’t used it myself.

The fact that Twitter is used by so many governments and organizations is kind 
of irrelevant, unless they’re contributing to Twitter’s bottom line. Elon Musk 
isn’t out to make Twitter a public square or a utility; he’s out to make it 
profitable and get a return on his investment. If governments and organizations 
bring in users which in turn bring in advertisers then this makes sense, but 
this hasn’t been the case for the last eight years.

I like Mastodon, but I don’t consider it a Twitter replacement. For me it feels 
more like something between Twitter and Facebook. I thin this might be in part 
due to the greater character limits on toots. I also find Mastodon to be more 
conversational than Twitter or even email, but this may just be the way I use 
Twitter. I also like the content warnings in Mastodon. It makes it easier to 
avoid inflammatory toots and gives me a chance to warn people about something I 
might be tooting. What I like most about Mastodon though, and the absolute #1 
reason I’m more active on Mastodon then I’ve been on either Facebook or Twitter 
is the plethora of accessible clients. I guess I have a pretty low bar when it 
comes to how much inconvenience I’ll put up with to participate in social 
media, and I find Mastodon clients set that bar lower than the alternatives.

In this thread I have seen the owner of Twitter referred to as Idiot 
and Knucklehead. And that was just today. If this is the way the blind 
community expects to gain both respect and accessibility then good 
luck. And enjoy those third party apps. Oh wait! There are no more 
third party apps. I wonder why? Perhaps communication and disrespect 
of the blind and sighted communities are both breaking down these

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps
AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely)



Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit 
third-party app makers from creating their own clients using the 
company's API.


On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a 
clause prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter 
clients.


The change comes a few days after developers began reporting 
 
their apps no longer worked.


The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has 
been expanded to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," 
according to the company's development Twitter account. It noted 
that, as a result, some apps might not work.


Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may
result in some apps not working.

— Twitter Dev (@TwitterDev) January 17, 2023




However, as /Engadget/ points out, 
 
it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps 
have been central to Twitter use for most of the social media 
platform's history.


Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's 
history since the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app 
before Twitter did and is credited with coining the word "tweet."


As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling 
their apps out of the App Store.


Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to
pull Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left
the app with no path forward. Please read our blog for more
information https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD 

— Twitterrific (@Twitterrific) January 19, 2023




Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current 
controversies purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the 
company 
 
in October 2022. This particular move is probably focused on 
preserving advertising

RE: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I noticed that too. It’s fully functioning for me again. It’s also for the past 
few days been providing the number of impressions for every tweet. I guess it’s 
only a matter of time until it too gets its access cut off, but until then… 
I’ll keep using it. I think Chicken Nugget 

and TW-Blue are still working on the Windows side as well.

There is a few big differences between Apple and Twitter. Yes, Apple often does 
things the way they think people should do them, they even have released 
devices which didn't really exist because they felt that is what people should

However, Apple is a public company and they are held accountable by their 
shareholders whereas Twitter is now Elon Musk's privately owned company and as 
such he really can do what he wants. Also Apple has made a clear commitment to 
accessibility a long time ago now (it started in 2009 with Voiceover being on 
every product) and I don't think currently Elon Musk has any thoughts for 
"minor" annoyances like accessibility. Of course I could be wrong and his 
vision for Twittter might be something nobody really can imagine now and maybe 
fantastic accessibility is part of it, we'll just have to wait and see.

Whether anybody continues to use Twitter as it is now or not is entirely up to 
them, nobody who happens to disagree with what he is doing has the right to 
tell people to get off Twitter and delete their accounts. I think most people 
agree that Mastodon is not yet a replacement for Twitter and once again we'll 
have to wait and see if it ever will be or if it will fade back into obscurity 
as a platform for a small number of users.

 it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

RE: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Well said, I am also quite surprised how quickly somebody is being insulted and 
called names because they run their business according to whatever plan it is 
they have. Once again, I am not saying I think Elon Musk is the most amazing 
person ever, for all I know he might have a very unpleasant personality, but 
then again many of these messages show that an unpleasant personality is inside 
all of us. As soon as we don't get our way other people and organisations are 
stupid, idiotic and whatever else. I saw the same on another list where 
somebody apparently had some bad luck with first a Microsoft Surface and then a 
replacement Lenovo laptop, bought from Best Buy and I was amazed by the advice 
she received about how she needs to play it so she would get another 
replacement rather then Best Buy or Lenovo first trying to fix the issue. It 
went from "you have to insist" to playing the "I'm a poor blind girl" to "cry 
if you have to".
And as somebody who has run a retail store for 23 years I surely have had my 
share of customers asking for too much; it's amazing how often I have to remind 
somebody who put a hole into their expensive hiking boots or a rip into their 
North Face pants that this is not a warranty issue and while some understand 
and may even say "I thought so, but thought I try anyways" to others getting 
spitting mad and threatening they'll go on social mediaand post about the 
horrible service they had from us. I always find that social media brings out 
in some cases the best in people but in more situations it seems to bring out 
the worst in people.

In this thread I have seen the owner of Twitter referred to as Idiot and 
Knucklehead. And that was just today. If this is the way the blind community 
expects to gain both respect and accessibility then good luck. And enjoy those 
third party apps. Oh wait! There are no more third party apps. I wonder why? 
Perhaps communication and disrespect of the blind and sighted communities are 
both breaking down these days. Perhaps Entitlement and Empowerment sometimes 
gets a bit confused in both the business and the private sector.

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began 
reporting<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
 their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

However, as Engadget points 
out,<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
 it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

So far, nothing as far as VoiceOver accessibility has broken or at least not that I’ve noticed. Of the main social media platforms, it slowly became one of the more accessible ones out there. Terrible that the accessibility team was let go along with a lot of other people, but the work they did to make Twitter very accessible is still there. Spring for the most part is still working. I’ve noticed that I can’t reply or retweet, but it’s easy enough to access the option to view a particular tweet in the native Twitter app and do whatever I want with that tweet from there. Once Spring’s gone, I guess I’ll have to see how I get along with the actual twitter appt itself. I mean, Mastodon’s “ok,” but it’s like night and day as far as engagement and level of information. Who knows, Musk may very well run twitter into bankruptcy as he’s hinted at already and sell it off to whoever and it’ll end up under new management and structure where we’ll be able to go through this all over again. It’s used by  so many. Not just people, but Governments, organizations and so on, it’s hard to see some other platform supplant or replicate what it does any time soon.There will likely be a Twitter 3.0 or 4.0, but who knows what that’ll look like or who will run it.

Also Apple has made a clear commitment to accessibility a long time ago now (it started in 2009 with Voiceover being on every product) and I don't think currently Elon Musk has any thoughts for "minor" annoyances like accessibility. Of course I could be wrong and his vision for Twittter might be something nobody really can imagine now and maybe fantastic accessibility is part of it, we'll just have to wait and see.Whether anybody continues to use Twitter as it is now or not is entirely up to them, nobody who happens to disagree with what he is doing has the right to tell people to get off Twitter and delete their accounts.

Merv the owner of twitter is an idiot.  When you fire the accessibility team it

main social media platforms, it slowly became one of the more accessible ones 
out there. Terrible that the accessibility team was let go along with a lot of 
other people, but the work they did to make Twitter very accessible is still 
there. 

Spring for the most part is still working. I’ve noticed that I can’t reply or 
retweet, but it’s easy enough to access the option to view a particular tweet 
in the native Twitter app and do whatever I want with that tweet from there. 
Once Spring’s gone, I guess I’ll have to see how I get along with the actual 
twitter appt itself. 

I mean, Mastodon’s “ok,” but it’s like night and day as far as engagement and 
level of information. Who knows, Musk may very well run twitter into bankruptcy 
as he’s hinted at already and sell it off to whoever and it’ll end up under new 
management and structure where we’ll be able to go through this all over again. 
It’s used by  so many. Not just people, but Governments, organizations and so 
on, it’s hard to see some other platform supplant or replicate what it does any 
time soon.

There will likely be a Twitter 3.0 or 4.0, but who knows what that’ll look like 
or who will run it. Might as well just go with the flow for now.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com <mailto:n...@appleinsider.com>  (Amber 
Neely)

 

 <https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/52478-104792-twitter-xl.jpg> 

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began reporting 
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
  their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps

However, as Engadget points out,

  it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been

Re: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Brandon Olivares]

Lol that’s so false — the only reason third party apps were disabled is because 
Twitter couldn’t show ads through the API and Twitter is bleeding money. Has 
nothing to do with anything else you said.

In this thread I have seen the owner of Twitter referred to as Idiot and

expects to gain both respect and accessibility then good luck. And enjoy those

Perhaps communication and disrespect of the blind and sighted communities are

The fact that Twitter is used by so many governments and organizations is kind 
of irrelevant, unless they’re contributing to Twitter’s bottom line. Elon Musk 
isn’t out to make Twitter a public square or a utility; he’s out to make it 
profitable and get a return on his investment. If governments and organizations 
bring in users which in turn bring in advertisers then this makes sense, but 
this hasn’t been the case for the last eight years.

 

I like Mastodon, but I don’t consider it a Twitter replacement. For me it feels 
more like something between Twitter and Facebook. I thin this might be in part 
due to the greater character limits on toots. I also find Mastodon to be more 
conversational than Twitter or even email, but this may just be the way I use 
Twitter. I also like the content warnings in Mastodon. It makes it easier to 
avoid inflammatory toots and gives me a chance to warn people about something I 
might be tooting. What I like most about Mastodon though, and the absolute #1 
reason I’m more active on Mastodon then I’ve been on either Facebook or Twitter 
is the plethora of accessible clients. I guess I have a pretty low bar when it 
comes to how much inconvenience I’ll put up with to participate in social 
media, and I find Mastodon clients set that bar lower than the alternatives.

I’m riding the bus until the wheels fall off. So far, nothing as far as 
VoiceOver accessibility has broken or at least not that I’ve noticed. Of the 
main social media platforms, it slowly became one of the more accessible ones 
out there. Terrible that the accessibility team was let go along with a lot of 
other people, but the work they did to make Twitter very accessible is still 
there. 

Spring for the most part is still working. I’ve noticed that I can’t reply or 
retweet, but it’s easy enough to access the option to view a particular tweet 
in the native Twitter app and do whatever I want with that tweet from there. 
Once Spring’s gone, I guess I’ll have to see how I get along with the actual 
twitter appt itself. 

I mean, Mastodon’s “ok,” but it’s like night and day as far as engagement and 
level of information. Who knows, Musk may very well run twitter into bankruptcy 
as he’s hinted at already and sell it off to whoever and it’ll end up under new 
management and structure where we’ll be able to go through this all over again. 
It’s used by  so many. Not just people, but Governments, organizations and so 
on, it’s hard to see some other platform supplant or replicate what it does any 
time soon.

There will likely be a Twitter 3.0 or 4.0, but who knows what that’ll look like 
or who will run it. Might as well just go with the flow for now.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

 <https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/52478-104792-twitter-xl.jpg> 

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began reporting 
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
  their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps 
not working.

<https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1615405842735714304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw> 

 

However, as Engadget points out, 
<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
  it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no 
path forward. Please read our blog for more information https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current controversies

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began reporting 
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
  their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

However, as Engadget points out, 
<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
  it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current 
controversies purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the company in October 
2022. This particular move is probably focused on preserving advertising 
revenue for the company, as third-party clients often filtered out sponsored 
posts and similar media.

In December, Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms. 
That was rolled back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if that 
will begin again.

Twitter is just fine. What’s your source for them firing their accessibility

Many companies do you things how they want. Look at Apple.

RE: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I’m riding the bus until the wheels fall off. So far, nothing as far as 
VoiceOver accessibility has broken or at least not that I’ve noticed. Of the 
main social media platforms, it slowly became one of the more accessible ones 
out there. Terrible that the accessibility team was let go along with a lot of 
other people, but the work they did to make Twitter very accessible is still 
there. 

Spring for the most part is still working. I’ve noticed that I can’t reply or 
retweet, but it’s easy enough to access the option to view a particular tweet 
in the native Twitter app and do whatever I want with that tweet from there. 
Once Spring’s gone, I guess I’ll have to see how I get along with the actual 
twitter appt itself. 

I mean, Mastodon’s “ok,” but it’s like night and day as far as engagement and 
level of information. Who knows, Musk may very well run twitter into bankruptcy 
as he’s hinted at already and sell it off to whoever and it’ll end up under new 
management and structure where we’ll be able to go through this all over again. 
It’s used by  so many. Not just people, but Governments, organizations and so 
on, it’s hard to see some other platform supplant or replicate what it does any 
time soon.

There will likely be a Twitter 3.0 or 4.0, but who knows what that’ll look like 
or who will run it. Might as well just go with the flow for now.

RE: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

There is a few big differences between Apple and Twitter. Yes, Apple often does 
things the way they think people should do them, they even have released 
devices which didn't really exist because they felt that is what people should 
use, iPhone and iPad are examples of that.
However, Apple is a public company and they are held accountable by their 
shareholders whereas Twitter is now Elon Musk's privately owned company and as 
such he really can do what he wants. Also Apple has made a clear commitment to 
accessibility a long time ago now (it started in 2009 with Voiceover being on 
every product) and I don't think currently Elon Musk has any thoughts for 
"minor" annoyances like accessibility. Of course I could be wrong and his 
vision for Twittter might be something nobody really can imagine now and maybe 
fantastic accessibility is part of it, we'll just have to wait and see.
Whether anybody continues to use Twitter as it is now or not is entirely up to 
them, nobody who happens to disagree with what he is doing has the right to 
tell people to get off Twitter and delete their accounts. I think most people 
agree that Mastodon is not yet a replacement for Twitter and once again we'll 
have to wait and see if it ever will be or if it will fade back into obscurity 
as a platform for a small number of users.

However, as Engadget points 
out,<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
 it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

RE: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Christopher Chaltain]

Twitters success depends on revenue, which is directly tied to advertising. 
It’s only indirectly tied to usership, but I wonder if the lack of 3rd party 
clients will cut down on usership and tweets and start to impact advertising.

I don’t pay attention much to the Twitter discussions. I’ll keep on using it as 
long as it’s accessible and there’s content there worth seeing. I’ll stop using 
it when it makes sense, and I’ll use anything that replaces it, assuming it’s 
worthwhile. Nothing I say is going to change anything that happens with Twitter.

I’m not leaving Twitter while it’s accessible; I like the iPhone Twitter app 
well enough.

As to them firing the accessibility team: don’t know the original source but 
they fired half their employees I believe but don’t quote me on that. Then 
apparently when the new working conditions were announced more employees left.

All the best

Re: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Michael Irons]

I was never on Twitter to begin with. I am not a bird and I don’t tweet. I 
won’t get on Twitter at any time in the future because it is probably not 
accessible anymore.

Re: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Feliciano Godoy]

Twitter is just fine. What’s your source for them firing their accessibility 
team? Just because Twitter doesn’t allow third-party apps to be utilized 
doesn’t  mean that it’s a bad company.
Many companies do you things how they want. Look at Apple.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps
AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely)

[https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/52478-104792-twitter-xl.jpg]

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began 
reporting
 their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps 
not working.

— Twitter Dev (@TwitterDev) January 17, 
2023

However, as Engadget points 
out,
 it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no 
path forward. Please read our blog for more information https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD

— Twitterrific (@Twitterrific) January 19, 
2023

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current controversies 
purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the 
company
 in October 2022. This particular move is probably focused on preserving 
advertising revenue for the company, as third-party clients often filtered out 
sponsored posts and similar media.

In 
December,
 Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms. That was rolled 
back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if that will begin again.

Re: Twitter Confirms Third-Party Apps Like Tweetbot Were Intentionally Blocked

[Angie Nutt]

I for one don’t think he’s stupid in the way of being incapable but I do think 
it stupid to get rid of so many people so quickly. As for the accessibility 
team: I really can’t understand why anyone would do that, not the whole team 
anyway. He’s gone too far too fast.

I’m also wondering if he wants to kill Twitter off as he did want to pull out 
of the sale at one time. Wonder what changed his mind. If it collapses, well, 
he gets out of it I suppose though it’s unlikely to be that simple. I’m 
disappointed in him as I thought he’d have some innovative ideas. I certainly 
wouldn’t consider getting rid of so many people innovative. Oh well, I am able 
to use the iPhone Twitter app and quite like it. 

All the best
Angie

offering high speed internet to places which never had it and would never have 
it (at least for a long time), who is building rockets and owns a number of

Twitter Confirms Third-Party Apps Like Tweetbot Were Intentionally Blocked

MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors  /  Juli Clover

 

Third-party Twitter apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific have been intentionally 
blocked from using Twitter APIs, Twitter confirmed today. Without access to the 
underlying code for the social network, Tweetbot, Twitterrific, Birdie, 
Echofon, and other popular Twitter clients are non-functional and cannot be 
used.

  
<https://images.macrumors.com/t/fDuIbHvd-gAGzJvdoEOiGZNs3ao=/400x0/article-new/2021/03/Twitter-Feature.jpg?lossy>
 
Twitter's Dev account today said in a tweet 
<https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1615405842735714304>  that Twitter is 
"enforcing its long-standing API rules," a change that could cause some apps 
not to work. There has been no word on which API rules the blocked Twitter 
clients have violated, and this is the first time that Twitter has provided 
insight into what's going on with third-party Twitter apps since they stopped 
working last Thursday.

When some third-party Twitter apps became unusable last week, it was initially 
believed that there could be some kind of bug causing the outage. Only the most 
popular Twitter clients were affected and blocked from Twitter's APIs, perhaps 
indicating an internal error. As Twitter declined to comment on the situation 
for days, however, it became clearer that it was an intentional decision. Over 
the weekend, The Information 
<https://www.theinformation.com/articles/musks-twitter-intentionally-suspended-tweet-bot-third-party-apps-messages-show>
  said that in an internal Slack channel, a senior software engineer at Twitter 
clarified that the suspensions were done on purpose, suggesting many Twitter 
employees were not even aware of what was going on.

It is not known why Twitter has provided so little information on what is 
happening to highly popular third-party Twitter apps that have existed for 
years, nor if these apps will again be provided with access to the API if 
changes are made. Developers like Iconfactory and Tapbots (responsible for 
Twitterrific and Tweetbot, respectively), received no warning about the 
shutdown and were not provided with information on why their apps stopped 
working.

Apps like Tweetbot have been around for more than a decade at this point, with

At this point, it isn't clear when or if we're going to get more information

their API access revoked will be back in some capacity. Tapbots is now speeding 
up development on 
Ivory, its 
app for the Mastodon social network, and Twitterrific's Craig Hockenberry said 
that he will be exploring the concept of a truly universal timeline that 
leverages how open standards can be used in "new and different ways."

Twitter is accessible now, but since there is no longer an accessibility team, it may lose its accessibility if developers update the code.  I have been on Mastodon for a few days and I like it as a Twitter alternative.  Mastodon is open-source so if it ever becomes inaccessible, other developers could take the code and make an accessible version of it.  If Twitter becomes inaccessible, there is nothing much people can do besides complain on-line about it or take them to court and hope you win.  My address on Mastodon is @progressivecat@iaccessibility.social. Ryan MannCertified Assistive Technology Instructional Specialistrmann0...@gmail.com386-383-5175On Nov 18, 2022, at 2:12 PM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:

The departures include many engineers responsible for fixing bugs and 
preventing service outages, raising questions about the stability of the 
platform amid the loss of employees.
On Thursday evening, the version of the Twitter app used by employees began 
slowing down, according to one source familiar with the matter, who estimated 
that the public version of Twitter was at risk of breaking during the night. 
"If it does break, there is no one left to fix things in many areas," the 
person said, who declined to be named for fear of retribution.
Reports of Twitter outages rose sharply from less than 50 to about 350 reports 
on Thursday evening, according to website Downdetector, which tracks website 
and app outages.
In a private chat on Signal with about 50 Twitter staffers, nearly 40 said they 
had decided to leave, according to the former employee.
And in a private Slack group for Twitter's current and former employees, about 
360 people joined a new channel titled "voluntary-layoff," said a person with 
knowledge of the Slack group.
A separate poll on Blind asked staffers to estimate what percentage of people 
would leave Twitter based on their perception. More than half of respondents 
estimated at least 50 per cent of employees would leave. Early on Wednesday, 
Musk had emailed Twitter employees, saying: "Going forward, to build a 
breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we 
will need to be extremely hardcore." The email asked staff to click "yes" if 
they wanted to stick around. Those who did not respond by 5 p.m. ET on Thursday 
would be considered to have quit and given a severa

Re: Twitter

[Ed Worrell]

Hello,

Yes, there are two ways to accomplish this. I am assuming that you have more 
than one account set up.

First way:
1. Open the user profile menu in the top left corner of the app.
2. The first thing that should be presented is a list of your accounts. I 
believe it will show something like the first three most visited accounts you 
use. Just tap on the one you would like to open. If you have more than three 
accounts you can tap on the more accounts button below the list of accounts.
3. This will open the accounts list. This will contain the list of all your 
Twitter accounts, an edit button and the add account button.

Second way:
1. Find the Profile account button in the top left corner of the app.
2. Double tap and hold on the button and it will open the accounts screen and 
you will be presented with the accounts screen with all of your logged in 
accounts and both the edits and add new account button.

I hope this helps,

Ed W.

RE: Twitter API change strikes next week, Tweetbot and Twitterrific affected, 9 to 5 Mac

[Cristobal Muñoz]

I started to use Twitter notifications instead of those from Twitterrific. 
Similar to how folks use the Gmail app for push notifications and the mail app 
for everything else. I've always used manual refresh in Twitterrific too so 
hopefully the disruption won't be so bad.  
Tried using the Twitter app and God, what a horrible experience. Sponsored 
tweets for days, stuff randomly out of order...

Subject: Twitter API change strikes next week, Tweetbot and Twitterrific 
affected, 9 to 5 Mac

Twitter API change strikes next week, Tweetbot and Twitterrific affected By Zac 
Hall 
 
After initially delaying major API changes, Twitter appears determined to flip 
the switch next week and break how third-party apps access the service.
Twitter clients including Tweetbot and Twitterrific are already bracing for 
impact with useful features expected to go away.
Core functionality like access to your timeline and the ability to post tweets 
will remain, but several basic features will be limited or removed.
Alerts for mentions and direct messages in third-party apps are expected to be 
delayed, and timeline streaming which populates your timeline with new tweets 
in real time is expected to go away.
Twitter supports timeline streaming on the Mac through its web-based TweetDeck 
desktop client, but it discontinued its native app which also supported 
timeline streaming. Twitter's iOS apps don't support timeline streaming, and 
the feature in other iOS apps is expected to stop working.
That means relying on TweetDeck on the Mac for streaming and getting used to 
pull-to-refresh on the iPhone and iPad - even when Twitter is viewed in Split 
Screen.
Twitterrific has already removed push notifications and streaming from its apps 
for new customers, and existing customers will see the features stop working 
next week:
As of this writing, both push notifications and live streaming of tweets will 
continue to function at least into August, 2018. Installing today's update 
means you'll lose Twitterrific's Watch app, but as long as you've purchased 
them in the past, the Today view and push notifications will continue to work 
until the cut off. New customers will not be able to unlock these features 
going forward as we did not feel it was fair to continue charging for a service 
that we know is ending.
Tweetbot developers have been less vocal about the upcoming changes, but 
Tapbots includes this notice on their website:
Is Twitter shutting down 3rd Party apps soon?
No. On August 16th Twitter will be removing the streaming API used by Tweetbot 
and other 3rd party clients. They have a replacement API with most of the same 
features and we are trying to get access to it. Even if we can't get access to 
this new API, the majority of features in Tweetbot will still work. In the 
worst case scenario we won't be able show notifications for Likes/Retweets and 
notifications for Tweets, Mentions, DMs & Follows would be delayed for 1-2 
minutes. You'll still be able to read your timeline, mentions, DMs and post 
Tweets just like you do today.
Tapbots Support is also telling users that timeline streaming will go away next 
week:
This is the closest we're getting to an official explanation of what will 
happen to notifications and streaming.
- Mike Beasley (@MikeBeas) 3:57 AM - Aug 7, 2018 Twitter is offering a new API 
that provides similar behavior at a cost, but it looks like the enterprise 
pricing won't be viable for our favorite Twitter clients on iOS and the Mac. If 
Twitter stays course, we'll see the real impact of this change next Thursday on 
August 16 - enjoy the third-party apps as we know them while they last.

Hello Rebecca,

The short answer to your question is, "Yes."

In order to accomplish this, however, you will have to access the Settings area 
of Twitter via a web browser.

Once there, navigate to the SMS area and disable Text Message alerts.

Now it's been a while since I've done this so you may want to Google the exact 
steps but, rest assured, that it can be done.

Hello,
When you open the updates section in the app store try doing a three finger 
swipe down to refresh it. I have noticed that in order to get apps to show up 
that need updating I have to do this in iOS 11. Sometimes it will look like you 
have no updates but when you do the refresh the updates will show up.

RE: Twitter for iOS Now 100% Accessible to the Visually Impaired, Via VoiceOver

[Alan Lemly]

Mark,

Rebooting my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.1.1 did not cause Twitter to appear in the 
list of apps with updates. Twitter is not running on my iPhone but I noted that 
I updated it three days ago with the version with an update description that 
voiceover users could now send 280 character tweets. I find it odd that version 
7.12 is out yet doesn't seem available to me and I'm running version 7.11.1. 
But I don't use Twitter very often so I'm not losing any sleep over it. I just 
find this sort of thing very curious.

Alan

Hello Alan,

Have you rebooted your phone?

Also, what version of iOS are you running on which device?  

Try completely closing the twitter app, reboot your device, then check the app 
store again and see what happens.

Mark and all,

I'm a bit confused why this new version 7.12 is not showing up in my list of 
app updates. I went to the about Twitter entry under settings within the app 
and it says I'm running version 7.11.1. When I search on Twitter in the Apps 
Store, I'm presented with the app and an open button as opposed to an update 
button. What am I missing about the way the Apps Store provides updates because 
Twitter is nowhere to be seen in my list of available updates.

Re: twitter clients to use on the i phone

[Andy Baracco]

I know that when IOS 11 came out, it apparently broke all of the Twitter apps 
except for the native Twitter app, in fact when I redownloaded my purchased 
apps after buying a new phone, I couldn't even download any of the Twitter apps 
except for the native Twitter app. Hopefully the developers of the other apps 
have made the necessary changes.

Re: twitter clients to use on the i phone

[Maria Reyes]

Hi, Twitterrific is an amazing app. The app itself is free but if you want 
notifications you have to pay. As for tweetbot I'm hoping they add rotor 
actions then I probably use that app more. Tweetings is good too.

Re: twitter clients to use on the i phone

[Ed Worrell]

Hello,

The default Twitter app is very accessible. The only issue as of right now is 
the trending topics feed in the search tab. I switch back and forth from 
Twitterrific & Tweetbot. Tweetbot is not he best with VoiceOver but I am drawn 
to it as it resembles the TweetList app that I used for many years, and I 
loved. I am lobbying for the developers to improve accessibility. My fingers 
are crossed that they will work on this.

The most popular ones are Twitterrific and Tweetings. They’re both completely

I suggest that you use them both.  There is really no need to choose, in my

Re: twitter

[Wayne Merritt]

Some that haven't been mentioned: TweetList 4 (though it's no longer
developed), Tweetings 2 for Twitter (available in lite or paid
version, but the paid version has extensive settings for customizing).
If you do a search in the App Store for Twitter, you will find dozens
of results to explore and try.

Happy Twittering,
Wayne
