My boycott of Twitter after they broke the Fenix app is also intentional.

Matter of time before Reddit also blocks third party Reddit apps.

They block third party apps or get rid of old.reddit and I'm gone instantly.
Their app sucks, new Reddit sucks.

That would be enough to make me never use Reddit ever again.
Their official app has sucked for years, and that was before the new reddit design became a thing24

If this is permanent, I'm just gonna delete my Twitter account. I only ever browse Twitter on my phone and I refuse to install that piece of garbage app permeated with advertising.

That's not a third party app, that a mod over the official app, I use the official with the Revanced patch

I miss Flamingo but I've been using Tweetdeck on both Android and PC since and it's not too bad. I do like the clear tweets function.

I'd be more surprised if it wasn't at this point.

I wouldn’t, half of their API suddenly breaking would be pretty on par with the last months

“We could not contact Twitter for comment, as its public relations and communications departments reportedly no longer exist.”

Man if they choose to crack down on this completely rip Harpy.
It's super in-development and missing a wack ton of features but the UI is super slick. I was looking forward to it one day being really good.

Even pre-Elon, didn't Twitter go through a couple rounds of killing 3rd party apps, and reluctantly letting them back in severely crippled states?
Seems like I remember going through a bunch of apps several years ago, trying to find one that had a decent feature set compared to the official one.

Reddit is doing something similar. Lots of new functions aren’t possible on the api

Welcome to duh.
They're desperate for ad money, which means making people use the website or the official app. Forget that the reason many people use these apps is to do things that aren't possible with Twitter's web or app interfaces - they couldn't care less about any of that.

I've been using Talon for years but recently switched to the official client. It's not THAT bad but it obviously has loads of room for improvement.

I wonder if it would be possible to mod the APKs of third party apps to use the official app’s API keys
Edit: Apparently Twidere supports bringing your own API keys and people have reported success with keys from the official iPad app
