After Elon Musk bought Twitter, many users left the platform and switched to Mastodon or Reddit. Now, after Twitter’s third-party applications, Tweetbot and Twitterrific, were restricted, users began to share posts stating that they would close their accounts. Let’s take a look at the details of the news for what Twitter users said on the subject.
Twitter users consider it unprofessional to restrict Tweetbot and Twitterrific
Recently, Twitter’s third-party applications, Tweetbot and Twitterrific, were shut down. Paid applications, for which no explanation was given after their closure, offered different distinctions for Twitter in many areas and served users with the application interface where only tweets stood out.
Tweetbot and Twitterrific users stated that after the third-party applications were shut down without any explanation, the Twitter owner and CEO was whimsical like a little boy and that it would not be ignored. People using third-party applications made statements stating that they left the platform, saying that this was terribly unprofessional.
On the other hand, news emerged that Elon Musk deliberately did this, as third-party applications surpassed advertising revenues for two days. In an interview with Insider, a Tweetbot user also stated that he switched to Mastodon and said the following:
“The complete lack of communication from Twitter and this happening with absolutely no warning is extremely unprofessional and infuriating.”
A Twitterrific user added the following words on the subject:
“I will definitely cut back on my Twitter usage if Twitter continues to take this route. This may be what motivated me to finally quit Twitter for good.”
