Even less for some. It seems further apps are being shut down in the run up because they have "violated Twitter Rules and policies”.
Such as movetodon [0] - locked out today - a service which helps you connect to the fediverse accounts of twitter users you follow. And reports that debirdify is closed out too.
It didn’t even require doing anything to/on the page with Puppeteer. Merely using it to open a browser window and then waiting, and using that browser window by hand during the wait to go visit the site that was using Cloudflare anti-bot protection ran into the problem.
End of an era; Twitter is dead. Whatever is left, it's not Twitter.
Am-I the only one surprised the site still hasn't had a major (multi-hour) outage at this point?
Considering the waves of resignations that hit the automated content filtering and bot mitigation teams, it's no wonder they are getting desperate.

Twitter has had at least one multi-hour global outage since Musk took over. This is in addition to at least one outage in Australia, plus outages of other critical services. The API outage happened before the after-the-fact announcement, login and 2FA outages kept people out of the app, etc.
For what it's worth, I cannot access Twitter right now, and DownDetector suggests I'm not alone, so we might be having another outage starting just now.
It's going to take a few scandals for this to sink in, but it's such a recipe for disaster.
On Twitter, you at least know that it's only three letter agencies reading your DMs. On Mastodon, it could be some Reddit moderator type that makes it their life mission to destroy you.
And because this must be true for every admin on every server on the internet... thank you dang (when you read this)!
