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.

Several people reported issues with revoking API access after using #fedifinder with oauth2 authentication. When they go to Twitter settings and revoke access, they get an error or nothing happens. Sadly, I can't do anything in those cases, because it all happens on Twitters side and you have to contact their support (good luck?). But there are reports, that it still worked and access is gone after a refresh. Feel free to share your experience with others in the replies.
