    I don’t think there’s ever been anything I’ve absolutely needed to see there and used nitter for a couple of curiosities.

    I’m sure I won’t miss it.

    I mean it’s not much of a change, considering a minimal amount of activity would result in you getting bombarded with super pushy sign-in popups.

    With this and Reddit pulling the shenanigans they are pulling, it sucks to see a large portion of Google’s results suddenly become useless, but it’s nothing but a growing pain in the path to a more decentralized internet.

    Yea fuck’em… I had my account banned for no apparent reason recently and I now have no plan to use their garbage platform.

        Me too. I’m not gonna be on a platform run by someone who just wants it to exhibit control over dissent + try and build his weird parasocial relationships with teens and children.

    It’s just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.

    To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.

      I don’t think so? It seems like you’re directed to a login page. There is no modal and no content under it. I’m only on my phone now so can’t be that sure, but it looks like it.

    Yep I noticed that today. Oh well, I’m never signing back into Twit. No more tweet reading for me unless somebody posts a screenshot I guess.

        That’s just sad, I’m glad I’m not interested in that platform too much.

          I don’t understand the point in the platform. It is, and always was, the very definition of a solution looking for a problem.

          Artists post to it, but they also tend to post to Instagram, so you can just use that. Same for photographers.
          Journalist post to it, but it’s always just a link to the actual article.

          At this point it’s basically just a “did starlink launch successfully” platform. Seriously that’s it, every other piece of information can be found somewhere else, but SpaceX only post to Twitter, for obvious reasons.

      Like it or not, there are still very impactful conversations taking place on Twitter. It’s good to be aware of them.
