Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.
I mean, I don’t like that either but it doesn’t affect links to tweets.
Single tweets are rarely useful without being able to read some context that isn’t visible without logging in.
It does however affect getting updates from government agencies, and others who insist on only disseminating real-time information to the public via Twitter.
For instance: https://twitter.com/WakaKotahiWgtn
This is the account for traffic events (road closures, traffic accidents, etc) in my city. Not signed in, the latest visible post is from February 2023.
Since I don’t have a twitter account, this is now functionally useless.
the latest visible post is from February 2023
If you scroll down far enough, there are posts from March and August, but they were “less popular” tweets. Incredibly annoying move by twitter. Who wants to regularly view tweets sorted by “Top All Time”?
This just in: broken clock is right twice a day.
and at the same time he only lets you use twitter with an account and killed thirdparty apps on mobile.
Who gives a fuckingdickleshit about this asshole
I only keep twitter installed so I can check service outages.
Why do I need a twitter account to do that?
