Why do people still link to Twitter instead of of nitter? Twitter's ui is the definition of dark patterns and antagonizm if you don't have an account

I opened the post link in an incognito window and it looked fine. The main difference was a footer asking me to log in or sign up. Maybe all the stuff you remember was removed?

I have to be very careful how far I scroll down when reading threads. If I scroll a little beyond the last reply, I get a "See what's happening" full splash screen. Extremely frustrating when you have these X/? Posts and have no idea when the actual end is without checking for existence of the next.

Try scrolling down. Once you barely touch the bottom of the thread you’ll see an overlay that you can’t get rid of. Or at least I did.

Ah, thank you Xylakant and MSM. I don't see that, probably because of NextDNS (a cloud-based Pi-hole+).

You can get rid of the overlay by clicking "login" and then clicking "x" in the upper left corner rather than logging in.

You could add a user script that redirects from twitter.com to nitter.net or any of the alternative Twitter frontends.

Agreed, I find it irking that GP is attempting to force others to follow his own standards. So much for free speech.

Asking, encouraging, and highlightning the negatives of not doing his way isn't forcing in any way at all.

What evidence is there of dark patterns or antagonizm?

Just visit twitter.com on iOS Safari in private browsing mode without logging in, and see how you far you get. The twitter experience for those without an account is fucking awful.

Maybe you're always logged in there or have ad blocking that knows how to remove it but if you view twitter not logged in and scroll down a bit you'll get hit with an undismissable prompt forcing you to create an account to continue reading.

(certainly not the only one, but what is irritating people in this sub-discussion).

Because Twitter is the original source. When people start publishing on nitter instead, we can start linking there.

I always link to nitter's mirror of the twitter thread in question, just because it doesn't require javascript to view.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

I agree with you, but you’re doing the same thing that the rule you’re quoting tells you not to do.

I'm making a note of both of these things, thanks.

Indeed - pvg is clearly one of HN's biggest trolls/hypocrites, but thinks because having >11000 karma the rules don't apply to them.

Where on earth are you melvins getting this stuff? I work at NSA with tptacek.

Edit: this is a reply to a comment that got sneak edited. It said:

Yes, but he's also a co-founder of Y Combinator and the creator of Hacker News, so you're unlikely to make much headway arguing with him.

It isn't a tangential annoyance when a site blocks you from reading the thread without logging in.

Complaining about tweets being on twitter is among the most known-tangential of tangential annoyance complaints.

Is Nitter scraping Twitter?
