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.

#Fedifinder still works to find your remaining followings from #Twitter in the #fediverse: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ It didn't at first when I tested it today, but after seeing that the old version (https://fedifinder-v1.glitch.me/) works, I gave it another try and it went through. Down to 538 from 617 accounts. Will have to look into what happened with the rest (deleted?). #Debirdify sadly got suspended by Twitter last week. #twitodon is still functional as well: https://twitodon.com/

@Luca@vis.social You can revoke the access token by POSTing to /2/oauth2/revoke with token, client_id, token_type_hint=access_token in body. The app will then disappear from the settings and also should do so automatically if the token expires after some time.
