Today in what (once again) could be the final episode of #Twitterdammerung, expect slowdowns on your local instances!

So that #Twitter API price structure I was posting everywhere was actually the existing marketing search API price structure. I took it down when I became aware it was misinformation. I thought there was a chance that the actual new price structure might be more reasonable. Nope #Twitterdammerung

Fucking lmao, the #Twitter API price structure has been published. The lowest tier, ≤500 requests/month, is US$150/month. Be for fucking real #Twitterdammerung

Today in #Twitterdammerung: effective February 9, genius rocketman is ending free access to the #Twitter API

This is a really good piece about #twitterdammerung, and also confirms the understanding I developed watching the situation from the outside lmfao

I’m not a finance guy, but I’m going to go out a limb here and say that this isn’t good. #Tesla #ElonMusk #Twitterdämmerung

Learned a new word: #twitterdämmerung Tune the music of the last scene of Der Ring, except that this is a solemn piece and has no clown in it. https://youtu.be/H59o70HP9HI

For a #HotTake that ages like fine milk, it never hurts to sift through #Musk #BirdSite output as the #Twitterdämmerung proceeds afoot.

The Washington Post and NYT response to the
platform arbitrarily banning its reporters shows how
liberal institutions really struggle when dealing with
the far right.

They quietly negotiated behind the scenes to keep
their reporters on there, essentially leaving independ-
ent journalists and the intercept's journalists out in
the cold. This is before we even get to the targeted
purge of anti-fascist accounts that has gone largely
ignored by the mainstream press.

This meant that Musk was able to silence large
amounts of his critics while weakening the hand of
the liberal outlets. It has set the stage for a periodic
cycle of purges now.

| also want to be very clear here, this is a critique of
the editorial boards of these institutions and not the
journalists who were banned for covering Musk.

The only way to win that interaction is to go nuclear
and impose as many costs on Musk as possible
through a coordinated response on the front pages
of the major outlets with something like a blacked
out front page with the faces of the journalists below
a with a big with the headline

"MUSK BREAKS HIS WORD; KILLS FREE SPEECH, PURGES JOURNALISTS" etc.

Anything short of that means you're applying
pressure when you are in a weaker position to do so.
This is difficult for liberal institutions because of their
belief in civility politics, pretense of impartiality and
defacto trust for other institutions.

Elon Musk has permanently suspended Taylor Lorenz, who can be found here on the elephant network as @taylorlorenz #Twitterdammerung #TwitterMigration

🤮 Sieht so aus, als wäre Twitter jetzt offiziell Privatbesitz und der Schizophrene #ElonMusk ist der Höllenhund, der an der Pforte zu Unterwelt Wache schiebt. #TwitterDämmerung #TwitteraccountLöschenJetzt

If this is #Twitterdämmerung, and presumably Musk is Siegfried, then who is the Brunnhilde who'll guide us through her sacrifice to a new dawn? #Opera

Musk's latest purge over at Twitter has been christened the Night of the Gone Wives #twitterdammerung

Little known fact: #ElonMusk was the first choice to play #JarJar in #StarWars - #Twitter #Twitterdämmerung
(Fun with the AI image generator)

Birdsite Overlord #ElonMusk endorsed #DeSantis for President because the governor is a "centrist". I can only conclude that this means that when DeSantis kidnapped people and stuffed them onto planes going to Martha's Vineyard, he made them sit in the center section.
