Thanks, multi-part Twitter links are now held hostage behind a registration wall, making them unreadable for most.

Too bad people continue posting there, it's amazing no contender has taken away Mussks lunch yet. Oh yeah, no big payoff except as a propaganda machine.. sorry, totally OT. Damn.

Fediverse is now integrated with Threads, and Threads is bigger than Twitter. With any luck, Fediverse becomes the open source, Threads kills X, and news media continues to die the same slow death it would have anyway.

If you haven't noticed, the kids don't read, they like to watch.

I don't use any of that. Still waiting for a twitter equivalent without the political drama.

Don't need fediverse complexity and confusion my friends and family can't understand.

Not being logged in, Twitter is hostile and/or broken and only ever displays a single tweet at once, no threads and no replies.

I'll take thread reader with an ad blocker over that.

I’ll take it over X.com

They can add more crap and it'd still be way better than getting a login page for a site you no longer have an account for.

Why is metadat's comment flagged and dead? It seems like a perfectly fine comment to me:

"Thanks, multi-part Twitter links are now held hostage behind a registration wall, making them unreadable and lost for most."

Thanks, this story would otherwise have been unreadable for me. Bit of a difference from the recent mastodon thread about writing a unix https://fosstodon.org/@drewdevault/112319697309218275

I wish people would stop using twitter as the prime host for these kinds of things.

Thank you. Unbeliveable that twitter is apparently the best place to post these "long" stories...
