Please donate to help the heroic maintainer of this wonderful resource, which we rely heavily upon since the death of the official #TwitterAPI.

Are there any functioning tools out there that are paying for #TwitterAPI access so that they can continue to offer great tools like #fedifinder #movetodon #Twitodon #debirdify etc used to be able to offer? i.e. helping to find your #Twitter #X contacts on #Mastodon?

If any of you have opinions on the best uses of the Twitter API, then now is your chance to tell the Threads developers what they should build: https://www.threads.net/@0xjessel/post/CwhKkC1uIN8/

I am surprised that they are soliciting this so directly. They might be willing to build what people want based on your feedback if you see anything missing.

This developer even speaks frankly about Activitypub as an intended future thing so I think it's coming.

What do you think were the best bots on Twitter?

What were your favorite bots on Twitter?

@xor I also see more #TwitterAPI terminations this week: the source of @helsinkikuvaa went silent. :(

Let's see if the operator gets more interested in the fediverse now.

.@leloveluck@twitter.com hat für die @washingtonpost@twitter.com zusammengefasst, was für einen fatalen Effekt die Einschränkungen der @twitter@twitter.com API für die Arbeit von NGOs, für Demokratiearbeit und sogar das Retten von Menschenleben haben wird.

So it finally happened. The #TwitterAPI access used to update #ResPublicae was cut off, all requests get an HTTP 401 response. Some discussion at

I'm sorry, Twitter is asking for screenshots of empty folders from researchers who opt out of paying "$42,000 a month to access 0.3% of all the tweets posted to the platform"?

There's a few things wrong here.

Another Twitter U-Turn: Following the restrictions faced by the National Weather Service and the New York subway accounts on the platform, Twitter said: "Verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free."

It's disappointing that people will move on as if nothing happened.

The lesson here should be: we can't trust a platform where one person makes major decisions.

In zwei Stunden ist der 29. April auch in der letzten Zeitzone der USA vorbei und somit die Deadline für die #TwitterAPI Abschaltung.

Noch funktioniert #fedifinder.
