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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Walled gardens are not a plus, no matter how much you might want to watch something wilt and die, restricting access to information doesn't help you nor I.
It's good because open platforms will grow, this is how reddit got there. Actually this is how they all seem to start before greed takes over.
No one should use Twitter for news and information considering how poorly it fights fakenews.
