We’ve been forced to pull Twitterrific from the app stores

Twitterrific no longer working might be the last straw for me with Twitter. I can't continue to use it if there's no way to get a non-algorithmic timeline where I can read every tweet starting from the oldest not yet seen allowing me to scroll up to the most recent.

I've seen other non-algorithmic clients but none have the simple, elegant interface of Twitterrific. It was the only way I could see everything from accounts I follow. Without being able to do that easily, the service is useless to me.

I use the Feedbro RSS reader which can subscribe to twitter accounts as RSS feeds. It gives you what you want: Every unread post highlighted for each account, and you don't even need a twitter account.

The Nitter fronted supports RSS feeds directly so you can use any RSS reader, and never need to even connect to twitter.com. For example this is Carmack's RSS feed: https://nitter.net/ID_AA_Carmack/rss

I’m able to do (almost) that with the web client. The “following” tab is just tweets from people I follow, with the latest ones first.

No “you might like” or “x liked” posts show up there for me.

I'm using Fritter on Android. It allows to follow people without an account and shows tweets in a chronological order.

It must be heart wrenching to build a business on top of an external API and have API access revoked without prior knowledge. I hope we can have a meaningful Twitter alternative. This situation sounds to me like some anti-competitive BS that cannot just happen.

I don’t think allowing your competitor to use your own data against you is ‘anti-competitive’

Old Twitter was just not a very well run business.

I for one welcome the death of Twitter, one can only hope.

I uninstalled Twitter app months ago, before Musk takeover, I'm using it less and less, the only social network I used since 2013, I feel better since then I reduced Twitter usage. As far as it regards me, Twitter can close tomorrow.

The official client is just awful as well.

I tried it for about five minutes and just flat out had to uninstall it. The web app at least means I can adjust the text size and font a bit.
