Well, look what happens when you decided it fire more engineers: it crashes.

He has no idea how this works, and quite frankly, I don’t care. I didn’t know Twitter was down until I read a @macrumors article.

Musk lies again and lays off more people. And this time, it includes the “Blue” team.

And lot of them feel betrayed by Musk right now. Especially loyalist Esther Crawford.

Rumor is she and her team spoke up against some of plans Musk had for Blue, including ability to make the account “unblockable” for certain individual. Musk saw that as threat and fired all of them

Apparently, this is not only what he demanded.

What I heard from industrial chatter mill, Musk even ordered his account to be “unblockable” meaning if user tried to block him, it’ll be met with an error message saying he can’t be blocked.

And anyone users who blocked him, well, they’ll find that he has been unblocked.

Thankfully, legal told him that’s lawsuit waiting to happen.

Looks like things may be getting desperate for Musk and his cronies running the crappy bird site.

I haven’t sent a single post on the bird site today via cross post and this is the error message I am getting.

It seems he’s getting ready to put limit on how much free users can post, and force people to use Blue.

Well, things are going from Bad to WORSE on Twitter under Musk and he’s basically doing everything to just shut it down and write it off on tax.

Latest move: making APIs paid.

He already destroyed third party client apps with policy change, and now, he’s trying to kill any of the small projects that uses APIs.

At this point, Twitter is sinking faster than ever.

This was hard to do……..

(Worst part is app was just updated….)

(I hope DOJ takes a look at this case, very sure there is some anti trust thing happening here)

And here it is: first company to call it quits on Twitter third client app: Twitterific:

blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/t

This was the first Twitter app I used also when it was released back in the day, and boy it was super polished.

It’s sad when this is the only solution. I hope they consider making a Mastodon client, that has massive potential.

Tweetbot may not be far along also unfortunately.

It’s official: Twitter has banned ALL Third Party client apps.

All I can say is, have fun dealing with the DOJ on this one, because this is anti-trust violation waiting to happen.

@PeterR I think Tapbots should do something bold: remove Tweetbot, go all in on Ivory.

From what I heard on Thursday, Musk personally ordered all companies using Twitter API for third party client to be cut off from access, because of losing ad revenue. And Musk is intentionally remaining silent because he doesn’t care what users and developers said. They plan to add new terms prohibiting use of API for running Twitter client in upcoming days.

Well, either the fediverse is overwhelmed and this is why crossposting isn’t working, OR looks like worst may have happened and Twitter is now actively blocking third party apps that allows crossposting to website.

If the latter is true, that will DEFINITELY bring anti trust regulators to investigate Twitter.

Bird site to Mastodon, Facebook, Truth Social and even Gab: 🖕

Literally, a huge middle finger, and this is going to get Twitter banned in the EU quickly, would not be surprised if Musk’s plane from Doha gets seized if they decide to stop at EU country so they can forcefully get him to testify.
