Twitter locked behind login page.
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.

Fuck Twitter. Garbage anyway.
The day I realized it was actively trying to make me furious by pushing notifications of incendiary tweets from people I didn't know existed or cared about writing about stuff I didn't find interesting but extremely toxic and offensive I stopped using it. It was before Elon took over, but when he did I deleted the account. It's such a toxic hellscape, I wish the official outlets I followed would just publish to Mastodon instead, but I'd rather just not see anything from that page, it's absolutely not worth it.
It's the sewage of the Internet, and the rats there brutally fight each other for the silliest of reasons.
twitter is the perfect place to have a screenshot of something you said in 2010 be put on blast so a bunch of college kids can scream about it and demand your corporation fires you
Anything worthwhile from Twitter gets screenshot or there's an article posted anyways.
The only reason I use it is that not enough prominent people are on Mastodon and for me it's only good for being a quick way of seeing what's going on in media and politics.
That's the only reason I've used it for in the past. Following news agencies and NGOs.
Now it works the same way with mastodon.
I wonder how many of those people are going to switch now that non-logged-in people can't even see their posts.
Downside is that it seems post elon twitter is far more far right infested, twitter algo pushes those agendas even when one constantly tries to block and press not interested on tweets and accounts.
