However I was a pretty heavy user of Twitter - scrolling through my timeline on the tram, in cafes, on the toilet or whenever I had a spare moment. I assumed that the API outage was temporary so I didn&amp;#x27;t download the &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; app, and figured I&amp;#x27;d just wait a day or so for Tweetbot to be fixed. It&amp;#x27;s now been ~3 days, I don&amp;#x27;t miss not having Twitter, I don&amp;#x27;t check it at all. I&amp;#x27;m maybe missing a couple of @dril posts, podcast recommendations or funny images I could&amp;#x27;ve shared with friends but that&amp;#x27;s nothing.&lt;p&gt;So intentional or not, I&amp;#x27;m effectively lost as a Twitter user. I&amp;#x27;m not claiming to be particularly high value, but I don&amp;#x27;t imagine my experience is unique. I&amp;#x27;m quite far from a fan of Musk but I enjoyed my Twitter experience enough that his meddling was just an amusing side-show until now. It&amp;#x27;s not a dramatic rage quit, just a sort of accidental &amp;quot;oh I guess I didn&amp;#x27;t need that&amp;quot; realisation that I didn&amp;#x27;t plan on having at all. Weird.&lt;p&gt;Interestingly if Twitter had said &amp;quot;We are killing off Tweetbot, you have to use our app&amp;quot; I &lt;i&gt;probably&lt;/i&gt; would have just begrudgingly downloaded the Twitter app. But because they didn&amp;#x27;t say anything, I just waited and went through the &amp;quot;cold turkey&amp;quot; period, where every now and then I&amp;#x27;d instinctively tap the Tweetbot icon before thinking &amp;quot;ah yeah it&amp;#x27;s down, oh well&amp;quot; - before completely losing that habit. What an own goal.</text></comment>

But clicking through from the Twitter Developer homepage you can get to these:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;developer.twitter.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;twitter-api&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;developer.twitter.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;products&amp;#x2F;twitter-api&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;developer.twitter.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;docs&amp;#x2F;twitter-api&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;developer.twitter.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;docs&amp;#x2F;twitter-api&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;All links to dev portal, product information and docs seem to work.&lt;p&gt;I assume the post is suggesting the Twitter api has been &amp;quot;removed&amp;quot; in relation to the reader apps being blocked. But it looks like everything is there still. Anyone got more context on what the &amp;quot;missing&amp;quot; page was?</text></comment>
