I’m done here unless Space Karen brings third party Twitter clients back (@tweetbot specifically). I’m on #Mastodon at https://t.co/yrUL3KYQcz. Hope to see you on the other side.
@joshuahaber Yep. A ton of people I follow here are also over there. Once @markjardine and @tapbot_pauI release Ivory, it’ll be like the good ole days of Twitter, minus Space Karen.
Well @joshuahaber, it’s official. Space Karen killed third party Twitter clients. I don’t plan to be around these parts if it means using the ad-laden steaming pile of garbage that is the official Twitter app. You?
Hey @tapbots, please leave @tweetbot available in the App Store. My annual subscription is coming up for renewal and I want to keep supporting you until I can officially pay for Ivory.
@joshuahaber@SenSanders Congress lives in lala land. The US budget is fugayzi fugazi money. Balanced budget? Nah, we’ll just borrow from future generations. The concept (personally, in business, and in government) is simple. Live on less than you make!
Tweetbot has been around for over 10 years, we've always complied with the Twitter API rules.
If there's some existing rule that we need to comply with, we'd be happy to do so, if possible. But we do need to know what it is...
@TwitterDev, you know how to reach us.

As Elon tweets about transparency, developers and users of @tweetbot, @Twitterrific, and @echofon sit waiting 24 hours later with no word from @Twitter as to why APIs allowing third party apps stopped working.
So much for transparency.
If I were you, @joshuahaber, I’d be canceling that @TwitterBlue account. This multi-day outage of third party clients with zero communication is BS. Vote with your dollars!
If they don’t bring back my ability to use @tweetbot, I’m done with @Twitter.
Tweet metrics are also like 1000x better in Tweetbot. And general usability. Tweetbot is the spiritual successor to Tweetie, after Twitter destroyed all the nice bits of Tweetie.
When developing an application, sometimes it’s hard to put what you know is best aside and give the client exactly what they want / pay for. Even if it means they will eventually understand and want it your way in the end!
