Not content with banning native third-party apps, Twitter has continued to cripple their API and move to paid plans for very basic access. I was committed to support Twitter cross-posting as long as possible because there are still Micro.blog customers who want to keep a foot in the Twitter world. But we knew it couldn’t last forever. July 15th will be our last day to support cross-posting blog posts to Twitter.

Predictions are fun and social networks seem to be in a period of turbulence, excitement and of course, decline. This is what I reckon it might look like in 6 months: Twitter will be like Facebook:…

So, a little while ago I did an extremely unscientific poll on login methods via Authl on this website. The results of that (measured by folks who accessed my site for any authenticated reason, not just folks visiting the login method poll):

Twitter published parts of its algorithm, but some developers said the code paints an incomplete picture.

Attached: 1 image I'm definitely not new to twitter... wtf

Attached: 1 image The rumours of security being a paid feature on Twitter is true. Fucking hell.

truly hope that nobody writes a twitter API library using the official client’s API keys, as that would almost certainly violate their terms of service. these are the keys that they would want to avoid using: gist.github.com/shobotch/51600…

I've given many talks about how mobile apps can't be deployed with a secret, and using Twitter's 2013 "hacks" as an example. I'm just going to leave this completely unrelated string of random …

I'm emotionally detaching myself from social media

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

This graph is the number of fediverse messages per day my little single-user instance has been receiving over the past year. Something is different.

It’s impossible to tell the stories of the Arab Spring, Black Lives Matter, MeToo - but also the Trump Presidency and Jan 6 - without Twitter. I wonder how history books will describe it, and how …

I was permanently banned on Twitter and I don't know why.

What you are seeing here is a pre-roll ad in the video of a promoted tweet. Twitter's adverts have adverts 🤯

I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I’m just now realizing the home button is a bird house.

Tip for social media cards on Twitter: if Twitter has cached a URL without a social media card and you later add one, you can reset Twitter's global cache (as far as I can tell) by running the URL through their card validator tool cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

*ALWAYS* reply to the "no violation" emails! always write back to say that receiving an automated email seconds later means NOTHING was reviewed tell them to fuck off and actually look at the report when you do? twitter *consistently* writes back to say they found violation

It's interesting, by the looks, that only men that criticised this feature in the replies received replies back from Twitter but the multiple women who pointed it out as being a terrible idea received no replies. twitter.com/twittersupport…

Four tricks that make Twitter useful for learning: 🔎Find top tweets by search: “from:[username] min_faves:[number]” 📚Use allmytweets.net/connect/ to create a archive of tweets you made/liked 🔍Search your followers: “filter:follows [term] 🐦Use Twemex (twemex.app)

If a tweet has "hidden replies" it's the first thing I look at.

So @AldiUK deleted their post using my words when challenged instead of getting me permission or offering me any kind of remuneration. Disappointed but not surprised, brands need to either come up with their own patter, or start paying the people that come up with it for them.

Mute account is three taps from the post you're muting, the start of the mute word interface is under some safety category in account settings. I can totally understand purely from an expedience POV why someone might mute account instead.

I think it was 2018 where I used to laugh when someone would say that I’d be “at 10k” soon on Twitter. But now I’m here, I feel like it’s actually achievable? 😅

It helps if you think of the "Block" button as the "Go Fuck Yourself" button. Maybe try to imagine Jeff Goldblum singing the "It's maaaahhh birthhhhhday" song every time you press it. youtube.com/watch?v=tEt2w4…
