Logged back into this app for a bit of news. Twitter has suspended @fake_api, which I created and ran.

Just coming back to wave goodbye to verification. I won’t pay for a meaningless “verified” check. I’m on Mastodon: mas.to/@MikeBeas

Elon killing @tweetbot means I won’t be spending much time here. The Twitter app is a dumpster fire. Follow me at mas.to/@MikeBeas.

Anyway, come find me on Mastodon. It's better and literally can't shut down third-party apps ever. mas.to/@MikeBeas.

Third-party Twitter apps like Twitterrific and Tweetbot have stopped working tonight, but others like Aviary still work. Feels targeted.

Hard to say if this is incompetence or malice at Elon's Twitter, but the fact that not all apps are impacted makes it feel like the latter.

Fedex just delivered a package my parents ordered to a house that isn’t even in the correct state. Some house in Mississippi. ???????

I just found out one of my first favorited posts on Mastodon was from a site running a fork of a completely different non-Mastodon software.

All of these federated social services talk to each other and accept each other as peers even if they aren’t the same type of website.

It’s all driven by a web standard called ActivityPub, which allows them all to communicate even though they all run different software.
