Thank you, @fu !

I updated my comment as well since the post was on the ELI5 community on Kbin. I was a bit too short in explaining it, FWIW 😁

it can be used for others (like posting to mail lists, or forums that have integrated mail support)

The only time I ever actually used twitter regularly was >10 years ago when I accessed it via email by sending email commands to a server tweetymail.com but alas they shut down long before the recent API changes to Titter. Before that I had also access it via XMPP/JAbber, I think that was native support (like they PROMISED they wold continue to do via SMS forever) but I"m not sure, could have been someone elses' implementation of the OpenAPI. Perfect examples of why we need to use actual #FreeSoftware (like Friendica) and DEMAND IT, so users can fork it at any time for any reason, rather than celebrating OpenAPI.
