pour one out.
edit 1: maybe temporary? paste cause i can't even put it on archive.is right now:
@AqueelMiq this is a temporary restriction, we will re-enable logged out twitter access in the near future
Yet another victim of the data rush.
How long until we'll search for information and get nothing besides SEO-optimized AI-geneted sites, instead of genuine human opinions?
16 1 ReplyI've run into this yesterday, and was puzzled not to be able to find any news about the change back then! It really does suck, and I wonder about the timing coinciding with the shutdown of Reddit APIs; yet another site full of useful content taking its toys and going home. 😑

I'm just waiting for Spez to follow his idol and restrict access to Reddit to all non-logged in users. How can I petition him to do so....

Guess I'll be skipping Twitter links entirely now.
12 0 ReplyLooks like https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/919#issuecomment-1615136091 is the reason. Smells like bullshit. There’s no way this is correct.
Kinda sucks. Been using it to check a few tweets here and there without an account.
9 0 Replysame, i suppose it might be possible to selfhost an instance and plug in some account credentials but it's so not worth it for the few twitter accounts i still want to keep track of.

Didn't Elon say he hated the login-window-on-scroll just after purchasing twitter?

This is irritating. I use Nitter once a week to check if someone's still alive. If I see them posting crap I know they're still breathing.
7 0 ReplyBest to move on. Don't let them live rent free. Anger consumes you and barely touches them.
