all others spinning wheel musk's new policy? tweetdeck ok atm

[scarfa]

Having the same problem all my lists are just spinning wheels except HOME. It may have to do with the rate limit thing that moron Elon Musk implemented. Any solutions, please post here.

[jlitz]

Musk also cracked down on API usage requiring big fee. That may be the cause.

[scarfa]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think TweetDuck uses the API, it may be scraping the Twitter website. TweetDeck seems to be working fine though.

[jlitz]

i just got a tweetdeck message you are rate limited please wait lol

[scarfa]

Okay I'm rate limited too on TweetDeck lol.

[chylex]

TweetDeck/Duck use Twitter's own special API token, but rate limits are still bound to your user account.

[chylex]

According to some sources, Twitter has killed several API 1.1 endpoints and will be migrating everyone to the TweetDeck Preview which doesn't work with TweetDuck. Since they broke the old API, there's no point in freezing TweetDeck to the old version to block the Preview, since all historical versions are now broken.

The broken columns will not be fixed, and once the Preview is rolled out globally TweetDuck will stop working.

[chylex]

In 30 days, Twitter will be blocking access to TweetDeck unless you pay for "verification". https://twitter.com/twittersupport/status/1675990712297443330

I might release a final update that just displays an error message explaining the app is dead.

If someone wants to use the app for the Preview, they could still download an older version and have basically no functionality except for having a separate browser with an icon for TweetDeck, but it will forever stay on outdated Chromium with whatever security vulnerabilities and other issues will be discovered.

the twitter is dead!

[Paraguanads]

Twitter is dead for me already. I started to use Mastodon for personal purposes. If works neat it will be implemented as well in my work.
Well, this was a long and cool ride, but yeah... Musk bought out Twitter to destroy it.
Thanks a lot for such amazing job with TweetDuck!

My favorite feature was collections, which now seem to be gone. Is there any way to get them back, either using TweetDuck or TweetDeck or some other client?

[jlitz]

tweetduck just a tweetdeck image now too bad was great some help here re collections https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-tweetdeck-features

[JohnChristofolakos]

Thanks for the reply. Yep, that page is how collections used to work, but none of that is available now on either UI for me. Maybe you need to be verified?

[jlitz]

i dont know still trying to figure out how to make a list and waiting for next you exceded your limit message --- hopefully Musk allows tweetduck back in

[scarfa]

Just an update, TweetDuck works again if you opt out of the new TweetDeck preview. Looks like the old API is now accessible again but for how long who knows.

[jlitz]

yes working again after opt out. No exceeded limits message today yet. Maybe Threads scared Musk

[scarfa]

I think it's b/c ppl were complaining the TweetDeck preview was missing features that power users needed, like managing an account with multiple users.

[jlitz]

tweekdeck should hire chylex to design their interface they're new version is lousy.

[chylex]

I will be releasing a final update with a warning message on launch. I have also opened #360 as the final announcement issue, so it wouldn't be buried at the end of an existing one.
