So it looks like Twitter has banned all third-party clients this morning, but bird.makeup is unaffected.

So this mean that for example Tweetbot users could switch to @ivory + bird.makeup to get back the lost functionality. A loss to the Twitter network, but a gain for the fediverse.

If I could help indirectly the mastodon app ecosystem to grow like that, it would make me quite happy!

@vincent @ivory great news! Not wishing to jinx, how come you've managed to come away unscathed? Bird.makeup is so useful and makes me miss twitter much less!

@gpollara @ivory Because I'm not using the official twitter API, but the one they use internally for the web page. They can't kick me out without breaking their own site!
