@caseynewton The Ars Technica article mentions that third-party clients using the API were always frowned upon but I have no idea how much of that was in official policies.
From the article:

Twitter has long kept third-party clients, which allow users and small teams to customize how they view, track, and engage with tweets, at arm's length. Prior to Musk's ownership, Twitter asked developers not to make them, restricted its API, and took away push notifications and auto-refresh for the clients.

I changed "I'm a lot more active on Mastodon" in my profile to "I'm a lot more active on a site I'm not allowed to talk about." My username is still my Mastodon username, and I still have a link to my Mastodon account in my profile. I don't know if they have automated scanners to detect Mastodon domains or what, but I imagine if it lasts it'll primarily be because my posts don't have enough reach for it to matter anyway.

And another 10% is meta-tweets (about the ).

No social at this point, for sure. Still some utility, and I still value some of the "weak social links" there. But all easily reproducible (eventually) on

Este estuvo feo. Pero bueno, nueva red social, nuevas esperanzas. Pronto subiré mis videos jugando Mario Maker 2 y algunos otros videojuegos retro.
