I will become a Musk fanboi if he reverts twitter to allowing unlimited reading without being logged in.

I honestly can’t believe how bad the experience is. I click a link and can’t read the tweet without logging in. So they’re making it difficult for end users to view content. But on the flip side it’s so easy to make an account that there’s bots and spam everywhere. Twitter is literally designed to make it hard to consume, easy to pump in crap.

This, holy shit. I only click on a Twitter post like once a month, but every time I have in recent months, I usually X right out of it because of the login prompts. I despise this walled garden bullshit.

Use the Nitter extension. Or browse private mode. Problem solved.

Maybe I'm just in the lucky A/B cohort, but I haven't seen any auth nags for a while now.

They come constantly atleast for me. Better use lightweight alts such as nitter.eu

On desktop I use an extension that redirects everything to nitter but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a functioning extension for firefox android.

Bring back the chrono-sorted timeline while he's at it. The algorithm sorting is a big reason why I use tweetdeck and FB purity to keep it as it was.
