So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
Maybe users will stop posting link to this site now that a lot of people can’t see it.
I see this as a plus.
So are all social media companies racing to the bottom?
Is the suggestion here that Twitter now requires a login to even view a tweet?
That’s what I’m experiencing. Every tweet and even going to the main url results in a redirect to a log in splash page.
Well if that’s the case Twitter is as dead to me.
Spez has talked about how he’s trying to model Reddit on Musk’s “success” with Twitter.
It would be hilarious if Musk set up Spez to take the publicity fall to cover Musk’s plan to force Twitter for authenticated consumption only.
Why does there always have to be a secret play involved with musk? Can’t they just both be incompetent at leading a social media company? This is just another example of Hanlon‘s Razor…
People have a hard time with the fact that the richest man in the world isn’t a genius.
It’s not a suggestion. It’s what they’re doing right now.
My statement is use of speech clarifying what @rooster_butt@lemm.ee is communicating, and its been confirmed as “yes”.
Is there a way to control the image size?
Good question, I have no idea. I wasn’t even sure this was going to post. I just pasted the images in from the clipboard.
darn
Why does the internet seem to just continue getting shittier
Corporate greed and commercialisation of everything. Welcome to the dystopian hellhole we live in

Same here. I only browse, so I don’t have an account and I don’t plan on making one. This sucks.
Idk, it’s given me a good reason to not load it
I can’t wait for this stubborn jackass to kill off twitter to the point it becomes an unrecoverable decline.
