The Bird Site - Gone Again

Well, earlier this week I deleted my Twitter account and removed the various Twitter apps I have used (Fenix on Android, as well as Twitteriffic and Tweetbot on iOS) from my devices. As it turns out, I was foretelling something. I removed my account as a continuation of my desire to remove myself from the World of M*sk, but at this time it seems that “The Kingturd” or “His Lowness” is doing all he can to run users that do not fit his view of things out of the Twitterverse.

As many know, some time on late Thursday or Friday Twitter stopped honoring the API Keys of many of the most popular 3rd party clients - something that is certainly within his powers and rights as the site owner. I understand that these apps did not allow Twitter to make as much advertising income as the native client, but I also understand that Twitter has not tried to work this out in the past. In addition, to just shut down a widely used API without any statement or notification is certainly either a poor business practice or a sign of hatefulness and spite, albeit an act I would expect from His Lowness based on his narcissism.

Therefore, from this point forward, I intend to do all of my Social Media interactions via Mastodon at (@AllenFinchum@hachyderm.io) and not return to Twitter either forever or at least until the His Lowness has “left the building” - sold out entirely. Even then, I will do so only if and when the site returns to something close to what it has been for many years. Until then - look for me here and on Mastodon.

Good luck and good nite to all.
