View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
Twitter also changed the terms without much advanced notice (arguably twice over the last decade). This post tries to be explicit with what we *are* changing and also when we are going to do so (60 days).
Point here (among several others) is that if Dev Platform ends up being a successor to the current API, it has to earn that place.

Things like vague replies and replying private via email to a public question are not building trust. I get the general feeling that there are negative impacts that are being talked around or avoided and I'm expecting to hear disappointing news in the future as more information is revealed. Just an honest opinion as some feedback for you.

Twitter also
Probably not the best way to start a response.

Except it's not explicit at all about what's changing. I mean it's better than Elon's tweets about the twitter api, but literally every developer in here is asking questions cause they have no idea how it's going to affect their use case.

Then you are doing an exceptionally bad job of it.

Please, do point us to where these explicit details are, because there has been nothing but vague responses dodging the incredibly clear questions throughout this entire post

But you aren’t being explicit.. you have done nothing but dance around the questions.

There is no possible scenario where it can be on technical merit. That's a commercial decision. One I'm seeing every sign of having been already made. And that'll be when I pack up my toys and leave.

That doesn't make what you guys are doing ok. I can't believe how much common sense has been lost in 2023. Did you guys not forget the part about not doing something just because someone else is doing it. Musk is a moron and his actions are having a negative impact on Twitter and has not generated sufficient revenue like he hoped. All you guys are doing is alienating your users who will likely flee to greener pastures.

Perhaps you could consider actually going into real and useful detail about what you're actually changing then, since having read this whole mess I can't seem to find a single post from you indicating what the actual restrictions to mature content would be. Thus far you have answered NOTHING.
Y'all really should not have announced this until you were ready to set down specifics.

60 days vs years of development iteration and usage

Advanced notice doesn't stop the changes from killing third party apps many users overwhelmingly prefer over your mobile app. You're not doing anything better, you're just telling people you're doing the shitty thing sooner than someone else told people they were doing the shitty thing.
