What ecosystem? I might be dim or out of touch but I’ve never seen anything related to Twitter outside of the app itself.
It's not an app it's a website. What's with these cell phone people calling everything APPS? Hi. They're WEBSITES. Just because you might use a stupid cell phone app to access the stupid website doesn't mean it's no longer a website. Use the right words and stop recording video vertically. I hate all of you cell phone people.

Wouldn't the right words be "smartphone people?"

> basically a week to decide what to do with your dev project Even less for some. It seems further apps are being shut down in the run up because they have "violated Twitter Rules and policies”. Such as movetodon [0] - locked out today - a service which helps you connect to the fediverse accounts of twitter users you follow. And reports that debirdify is closed out too.

I would honestly love to see a poll of Mastodon users just to see if they understand that administrators can read everything in an instance, even direct messages between users. It's going to take a few scandals for this to sink in, but it's such a recipe for disaster. On Twitter, you at least know that it's only three letter agencies reading your DMs. On Mastodon, it could be some Reddit moderator type that makes it…

But that’s not in any way shape or form the “accessibility” being talked about here. Just because it’s the same word does not mean it’s the same meaning.
Yes, but since we are judging a person for his merit…
This is a comment thread discussing accessibility at Twitter, in a post about Twitter discontinuing part of its platform. It’s not a place to circlejerk Musk’s achievements, regardless how much you would want that to be so.
Explain, in exact words, what about SpaceX in any way shape or form would indicate that they know how to handle user a11y and how that would transfer over to Twitter— you know, the thing we’re actually discussing here.

All things considered, that’s not surprising that a company doesn’t want their free API/resources used to make moving to a competitor easier.
I think anyone can request a download of archive of all their data, and removing that would violate at least GDPR. And then do whatever they want with this archive, including uploading to anywhere else. So while it disrupts the current process, it cannot really take the competitors out.

Delivering old tweets is actually more expensive than real-time because nothing is cached. Streaming access is pretty much all served out of memory. I used to lead the search and historical API team at Twitter.
Oh I’m sure. My point was just that the use cases least likely to be able to afford paying are clustered on historical data. And those clustered on real-time data tend to involve $$ anyways
That sucks. I have some personal Twitter automation scripts that only make 20 requests per week or so. No way I could justify paying for API access for something small like that.
