I deactivated my Twitter account a couple months ago. I’m liking Mastodon.
I did a presentation about it on my last Tech Time call. Let me know if
anybody would like a recording of it.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps
AppleInsider / n...@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely)
Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit
third-party app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.
On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.
The change comes a few days after developers began reporting their apps no
longer worked.
The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been
expanded to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the
company's development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps
might not work.
Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some
apps not working.

However, as Engadget points out, it does not align with the company's
history. Third-party apps have been central to Twitter use for most of the
social media platform's history.
Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history
since the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is
credited with coining the word "tweet."
As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their
apps out of the App Store.
Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull
Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.
Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with
no path forward. Please read our blog for more information

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current
controversies purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the company in October
2022. This particular move is probably focused on preserving advertising
revenue for the company, as third-party clients often filtered out sponsored
posts and similar media.
In December, Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms.
That was rolled back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if that
will begin again.
