Making it easier to run your own #fedifinder.
Until now, fedifinder needed a Twitter developer app with elevated access because the authorization flow relied on Twitter API v1. I finally switched it to oAuth2. Now, you only need essential API access to run it and it gets access to fewer things than before thanks to scopes.
If you have essential access, please test it by clicking Remix https://glitch.com/edit/#!/fedifinder, configuring the .env and adding the callback URL to your Twitter app.

This is one of the steps to make #fedifinder more resilient against being shut down. Getting essential access is easier than getting elevated access. Everyone can spin up their own fedifinder instance on #Glitch within minutes. If my account gets suspended, everyone can take over. At the moment, there is no indication that fedifinder will get shut down. I am careful to follow the Twitter developer terms.
