I only ever use Twitter via Tweetbot, which has never tried to show me something other than a chronological feed of posts from people I follow.
I have absolutely no interest in a curated timeline, so I guess I'm done with Twitter if the API doesn't start working again.
- zwily 4y agoThe Twitter app just got an update that makes it easier to switch to the chronological timeline, and it appears to actually stick now. (At least it has so far). Doesn't avoid the ads though, which are still ubiquitous.
- vanilla_nut 4y agoWhat they can fix in an update, they can take away in another update. The only safe solution is competition between multiple service providers. If third-party clients are dead... looks like even more of a reason to switch to alternatives like Mastodon?
- ubermonkey 4y agoTwitter wasn't valuable enough to me BEFORE Elon bought it for me to put up with ads. It definitely isn't now.
- jader201 4y agoYeah, same here. I actually only follow a handful of active feeds, so it won’t be the end of the world either way. But one thing I’ll miss are the HN feeds, since I otherwise stay off HN. I may have to find an alternative for that, at least, since I don’t want to get (back) in the habit of visiting the HN homepage.
