This has been well known for a while; they block all third party clients and libraries outside of using their official bot API.

Having been on the receiving end of over 50k compromised accounts attacking my server (with verified phone enabled); largely stolen oauth/access tokens from real users, I can also see why they would do that as a platform owner.

On the other hand, as a rms-thoughtpattern, this is awful.
