Ah yes, the one reason why everything eventually turns to shit unless it's a nonprofit.
> but they would never offer “all of Twitter data running on our servers and pipelines for free”.
But they are contemplating doing exactly that with the Bluesky project. Not just that, but federation, as in, you'd be able to interact with tweets without a Twitter account, but from an account you host on your own infrastructure.
This is why I'm asking the question in my original comment. These two efforts feel so misaligned to me. If you're going to federate, you could as well provide completely unauthenticated API to access public content — you'll have to anyway.
Non-profits are typically just a mechanism for turning wealth into status. Mostly useless for all other concerns.
You would need to self host on Bluesky. Also it is just an open social standard that Twitter would be part of it. It would not be Twitter giving up control of Twitter data. They would never provide "completely unauthenticated API to access public content". The abuse vectors alone would destroy the network.
