    I finally had a chance to figure out why my social bridging software was no longer able to talk to Twitter. Indeed, it's because under Twitter's new leadership, python-twitter has been deemed as violating something in their terms of service. It says I can submit a ticket, but they make it impossible to figure out how to do that (the service portal is a loop). So I am deciding to no longer support Twitter and will focus entirely on federated social media.

      Several other authors of software that accesses the Twitter API have come to that conclusion as well. When #Twidere, my phone app to access Twitter stopped accessing Twitter back in January I pretty much abandoned Twitter. I still check Twitter with its WebUI, less than once a week, but I no longer post or engage there.

      But Twitter still gets used by some organizations I do work for, so I do post from their accounts. I wonder how long it will be before they abandon Twitter too.
