Well, it's time to look into an ad-blocking Twitter app alternative...

[–] 0xtero@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Good luck with that. Twitter killed all 3rd party apps last year and shut down the API.
It's available again, behind paywall and it's fairly restricted.

It be difficult for not only the API is no longer free but also the user limit of amount of tweets being able to be seen each day. You're just better off scraping Twitter all together

Lol. I was wondering if that was what you meant. I decided to go with it anyway. Anyway, we are all better off without Twitter.
