Tomorrow, this newsletter becomes the Warrior Nun Weekly, so if you see a new subject line, that's who it's from.
Twitter is going through some interesting changes right now. The current management has throttled how many posts we're allowed to view per day including removing access entirely from people who are not logged in. This will adversely impact things like Twitter Spaces, for example, which were one of the few formats people could tune into without having to set up an account.
We don't know what's going on at Twitter, though we can hazard a guess. A week ago, Twitter finally cut off access to their free API. Naturally, many companies and organizations that relied on that free data had to find alternatives, including software that can pretend to be a regular website user (a practice called web scraping). It is not a great leap of logic to conclude that tech-savvy organizations which were using the free API pivoted to using scraping instead of paying Twitter for their substantially more expensive paid API services.
As a result, to plug that hole, Twitter simply... restricted everyone. How long this lasts, we don't know, but it adversely impacts a couple of Warrior Nun initiatives, including spaces and our Warrior Nun Weekly Top 40 charts, which we will be unable to publish this week in its entirety.
So what should we do? After all, many folks want to continue sharing and participating now that our favorite show is saved, plus stay in touch with the latest news as our saved show starts the long march back to our screens and devices. Long ago, during the campaign, our designer Lucy made this useful poster:
This advice still holds true today. You're on the Substack, so as we get news, we'll share it here. There's the main website, WarriorNun.com, where news will also be shared. And in terms of social networks, for now, Instagram is probably our best bet because folks like Simon are there already, and we want to ensure we're getting our information from as many official sources as possible. And for more conversation, be sure you're part of the Warrior Nun Discord as well.
There's no telling what's going to happen with Twitter. Facebook/Meta is rumored to be launching a Twitter competitor, Threads, later this month, so be on the lookout for that as well.
Please share and recommend this newsletter to fellow Halo Bearers!

I think it’s safe to say that until Warrior Nun hits our screens again, we will not see another week of coverage like this. Holy cats. 492 key articles, 256 mentions… the best week of Warrior Nun coverage since cancelation. Absolutely incredible.

Thank You For Reading
A reminder: One of the major aims of the campaign was to get more mainstream media coverage. Mainstream media publishers don’t care about retweets - they make their money on page views and even compensate writers based on how many people read their articles. The more we help them, the more they help cover us.
