Desktop clients for reddit, twitter, facebook and other social media apps. (self.Blind)
submitted by Xomrade
How do you guys use reddit, twitter, facebook and other social media platforms on your PC? Do you guys simply visit the respective websites, or use clients on your system? If so, suggest me some good ones. I find online websites to be accessible but cumbersome. A neat client would certainly help.
Any hints are welcome.
Regards accessable,

I use the Reddit website on PC. I don't use facebook on PC at all; just mobile. For Twitter, I currently use a client called TWBlue. However, Twitter is going to be disabling most of it's API this month, so most desktop Twitter clients are going to stop working.

I heard rumors about that, sad to hear that it's true. Do you know why they're disabling it?

Because they want to force people to use the native apps. The native apps show more advertising, and can collect more data about you and your computer/phone. Twitter wants to be a big data company like Facebook is, and one of the things holding them back from that is all the third party apps.

That's honestly really lame. That's one of the reasons I liked Twitter.

I use a mac. I like twitterrific on the mac and night owl still works decently. I don’t know any really good reddit or facebook apps there.

I use Reddit and Twitter on the desktop and I'll continue to do this after 8/16, when Twitter gets rid of the streaming API only. We'll have to go back to getting tweets every 5 minutes or so, but they aren't completely disabling third-party app access or anything. Here's a bit of an explanation: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/16/17362138/twitter-api-third-party-apps-changes-explained
