![]() ![]() Lots of space and many words have been devoted to why their changes are hostile to developers of Twitter-based applications (and they certainly are). Twitter published the overview of version 1.1 of the API yesterday. It does everything it can to take that interest and convince women that games and gaming communities aren’t for them, then tries to hide the responsibility by saying “this isn’t broken, or at least if it’s broken, it’s not our fault, it’s just how it is.” That culture is created and fostered by the men that already inhabit these spaces. It’s a matter of a toxic culture that takes that interest and then stomps on it.
