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.

So are all social media companies racing to the bottom?
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.
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
Why does the internet seem to just continue getting shittier
Corporate greed and commercialisation of everything. Welcome to the dystopian hellhole we live in
Yep, every company requires quarterly growth and hitting KPIs, so a bunch of assholes with no moral qualms about it will fuck everything to get higher bonuses.
Its also why everything is subscription based these days.

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
Is the suggestion here that Twitter now requires a login to even view a tweet?
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”.
