MCC did a great job bringing up Twitter's awful record on open APIs in a reply: https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1204807272226082817 https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1204807272226082817 While I'm all for open standards and protocols, Twitter has proven itself hostile to 3rd party developers. Even if their proposals are good Twitter has a long way to go to prove themselves trustworthy participants in open networks.

Yes exactly, instead of being open they’ve consistently shut the doors. You have no idea the lengths I’ve been through to keep that service up. In fact the technology decisions by the guy charged with leading this effort (CTO) have been more restrictive as of late not less. For example the web UI is now totally obfuscated server rendered code in effect nullifying any chrome extension that wants to work on top of it. If anyone is interested I wrote a piece about democratizing social media https://medium.com/@shareU/we-built-this-city-2cb97437942f https://medium.com/@shareU/we-built-this-city-2cb97437942f
