Today, two major sites took steps towards closing off their walled gardens even more.
#Reddit's revised #API pricing came into effect, and #Twitter now requires a login for viewing public tweets (breaking all Twitter embeds worldwide)
While I can snark and say "and nothing of value was lost", that's not true at all. Reams of good, valuable content (admittedly amidst a lot of trash) is now locked away, essentially forever.
Reject walled gardens, reject #enshittification, embrace open source.
