The #RSS reader #NewsExplorer is the latest casualty of the #TwitterAPI new pricing

News Explorer had a very neat #Twitter integration, but due to the new API pricing, the dev had to remove it last week (any paid tier would have been financially unsustainable)

Instead, News Explorer now has native… #Mastodon integration

It's really on brand to watch another RSS reader replacing Twitter by Mastodon

Musk‘s #Twitter #takeover also impacts third-party #developers who now face exorbitant fees for using Twitter's API. As a result, numerous third-party services are shutting down. Hopefully #developers redirect their efforts towards supporting #Mastodon instead, fostering the more open and inclusive #socialmedia platform.

This may be of interest to some folks here:

News Explorer, that perfectly lovely self-contained #RSS #FeedReader which doesn’t require some network drive/account to function, now supports #Mastodon.

Simultaneously, they’ve dropped all support for a certain social media site, citing “unrealistic high subscription prices for using the Tw***** API”.
