Install complete, Twitter error about elevated access

[Schnabelobst]

After installation using cargo, an error occurs.

Is elevated access really necessary? This would limit usage to academics and a few others, right?

I think elevated can be requested by anyone and still free tear. I am not certain how easy it is to get it. I requested it, I will let you know how it goes.

You can get elevated access immediately, upon requesting.

The problem is that mastodon-twitter-sync uses the egg-mode library to access the Twitter API. egg-mode only supports the Twitter v1 API, where you always need elevated access now when using v1.

I think mastodon-twitter-sync could run perfectly fine with Twitter API essential access once there is a port of egg-mode to Twitter API v2.
