Twitter lost a decent chunk of its ecosystem and its users when imposing ridiculous API limits for 3rd party clients and killing them off.<p>Also, they arbitrarily told Instagram to fuck off by only banning <i>their</i> image embeds, which pissed off even more users.<p>Now I&#x27;m just praying that their new &quot;while you have been away&quot; crap doesn&#x27;t get default (or if it does, make it opt out). I&#x27;m fairly capable of reading an entire day worth of backlog (though, again, provided it is not more than 800 tweets, once again a pointless API limit).<p>Getting new users all right, do whatever the fuck you want, but do not drive away even more of the most hardcore users unless you want to have a Twitter filled with brainless 12y kids and #cut4bieber&#x2F;#cut4dagibee and similar junk.
