3rd-party Twitter clients are going to have quite a spike in popularity then, just need to implement clientside blocking. It won't prevent the person blocked from seeing your posts, but that's kind of impossible to enforce on a public platform, anyway.
Twitter is killing those, too: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/22/23564460/twitter-third-party-apps-history-contributions
Of course it is...
Looks like Twitter is following in Reddit's foot steps, or maybe the other way around?
Yeah it's the other way around. Twitter straight up neutered api access for 3rd party apps late last year. It's a race to the bottom here.
