Okay, for mawkingbird, my side project mastodon client, I'm going to support twitter, but under these terms
- it's a half way house out of twitter, we want people to leave.
- via the paid API scrapers (not nitter, they're free volunteers)
- Elon gets no money from those scrapers
- it will be readonly so to encourage the user to use twitter less and less
Twitter hates the screen scrapers the more the scrapers are used, the more twitter degrades their app for everyone to fight scraping.
