So ... I've heard of shadow banning on Twitter, but is there also shadow blocking of being able to post? Or is it just that the Twitter macOS app is now broken?

I used to post a protest message to Twitter everyday via their API. But the free API access kept getting blocked/banned etc.

So I switched over to using a macOS shortcut to post via the Twitter app. That too stopped working about a week ago. Every single time I try to post, it says “posting failed” or something similar.

However, if I go to the web interface, I can post the same thing fine.

So not sure if this is shadow blocking or the Twitter edifice crumbling slowly into the oceans of time 😛
